The compounding nature of the wise life shows up in Proverbs 21:21: He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness and honor (v. 21). The verse echoes the Proverbs principle that pursuit of the right things produces them, and more.
The man who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life (the very thing the wanderer of verse 16 forfeits), righteousness (which here functions as both pursuit and reward), and honor (the honor that the fool of verse 17 trades away for pleasure).
The verse is a quiet picture of how the wise life compounds. The pursuit and the prize move in the same direction.
