Mishle 11:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ An eshet chen retaineth kavod (honor, respect), but ruthless men retain osher.

¹⁷ The ish chesed (merciful man) doeth good to his own nefesh, but he that is cruel harmeth his own self.

¹⁸ The reshah worketh a wage of sheker, but to him that soweth tzedakah (righteousness) shall be a sachar emes (sure reward).
