Commentary for Proverbs 10:16

פְּעֻלַּ֣ת צַדִּ֣יק לְחַיִּ֑ים תְּבוּאַ֖ת רָשָׁ֣ע לְחַטָּֽאת׃

The wages of the righteous is life; The increase of the wicked is sin.

Rashi on Proverbs

The act of the righteous is for life [This is to be understood] according to its apparent meaning, but the Midrash Aggadah states: Solomon performed the construction of the Temple for the life of Israel, for their atonement.
