16 The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
16 The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
16 The wage of a good person is exuberant life; an evil person ends up with nothing but sin.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin.
16 The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin.

Perhaps a righteous man has no more than what he works hard for, but that labour tends to life.
