Proverbs 10:2

Context

10:2 Treasures gained by wickedness 1  do not profit,

but righteousness 2  delivers from mortal danger. 3 

Proverbs 24:4

Context

24:4 by knowledge its rooms are filled

with all kinds of precious and pleasing treasures.

1 tn Heb “treasures of wickedness” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “Ill-gotten gains”; TEV “Wealth that you get by dishonesty.”

2 sn The term “righteousness” here means honesty (cf. TEV). Wealth has limited value even if gained honestly; but honesty delivers from mortal danger.

3 tn Heb “death.” This could refer to literal death, but it is probably figurative here for mortal danger or ruin.
