16 A gracious woman gets honor,
but she who hates virtue is covered with shame.[a]
The timid become destitute,[b]
but the aggressive gain riches.(A)
17 Those who are kind reward themselves,
but the cruel do themselves harm.
18 The wicked earn no real gain,
but those who sow righteousness get a true reward.(B)
