Proverbs 11:16-18

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honour:
    and strong men retain riches.

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:
    but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁸ The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
    but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
