The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
In context
14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
