Exegesis
The proverb features two parallel construct chains: pe'ulat tsaddiq {פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק | pə‘ullāṯ ṣaddîq} ‘work of the righteous’ and tevu'at rasha' {תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע | təvū’āṯ rāšā‘} ‘gain of the wicked’.
In context — Proverbs 10:16
The work of the righteous leads to life, but the gain of the wicked results in sin .
