19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
19 Truly the righteous attain life, but whoever pursues evil finds death.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
19 Take your stand with God's loyal community and live, or chase after phantoms of evil and die.
19 As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
19 Godly people find life; evil people find death.

Commentary on Proverbs 11:19
(Read Proverbs 11:19)
True holiness is true happiness. The more violent a man is in sinful pursuits, the more he hastens his own destruction.
