Heidi Montag quoted from Proverbs 11:30 "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life" What does that mean?

She did this on Twitter.

Proverbs 11:30 "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,"

Fruit in this sense means "reward," so the reward of the good-person is a tree of life? So I'm gonna get a tree of life, whatever that as my reward. What'll this tree give me, life? Maybe it has some good-tasting fruit that might be of some use to me.

What do you think it means?

I can't really believe anyone would follow that idiot's twitter.

think she`s gunna send her gardner round to plant you a plum tree.

[Jim The Baptist]

Jesus said that you can tell the tree by its fruits.

The fruit of the righteous is to win souls to life

The whole verse reads - "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise"

Heidi Montag's sage wisdom has guided me through many a troubled times.

It just means that what a righteous person does will allow other people to live a long time.

Think back to the story of the garden of Eden. There was the "tree of knowledge of good and evil", and there was also a "tree of life".

The reward for righteousness is (long) life. Spoken in a poetic form, using agricultural symbolism.

John 4:32
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

[Mdog]

I guess it means that she's a lot less stupid than I originally thought...probably not though.

Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures are the Tree of Life. The righteous follow the commandments and wisdom found there and are rewarded, a good life now and a share in the world to come.
