Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 11:30

"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls." — Proverbs 11:30 (ASV)

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. —The righteous, by the performance of his duty to his neighbours, brings, as it were, life and healing (Revelation 22:2) to them, and the wise man winneth souls, attracts them to himself, and induces them to follow his example.
