Proverbs 11:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honor, 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.
