Proverbs 11:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ A gracious woman shall find glory (A gracious woman shall receive honour); and strong men shall have riches.

¹⁷ A merciful man doeth well to his soul (A merciful person doeth good to his own soul); but he that is cruel, casteth away, yea, (even his own) kinsmen.

¹⁸ A wicked man maketh unstable work; but faithful meed is to him, that soweth rightfulness. (There is no surety with the work of the wicked; but there is a sure reward for those who sow goodness.)
