Proverbs 11:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

16 A gracious woman takes hold of honor,
but ruthless men take hold of riches.[a]
17 A merciful man benefits his own soul,
but a cruel man brings trouble on his own flesh.
18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
but one who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
