Attain Attains Death Die Evil Gets Gives Goes Life Pursues Pursueth Pursuing Righteous Righteousness Rightly Steadfast Stedfast Tendeth Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Verse 19 It is here shown that righteousness, not only by the divine judgment, will end in life, and wickedness in death, but that righteousness, in its own nature, has a direct tendency to life and wickedness to death. 1. True holiness is true happiness; it is a preparative for it, a pledge and earnest of it. Righteousness inclines, disposes, and leads, the soul to life. 2. In like manner, those that indulge themselves in sin are fitting themselves for destruction. The more violent a man is in sinful pursuits the more eagerly bent he is upon his own destruction; he awakens it when it seemed to slumber and hastens it when it seemed to linger.
