Proverbs 11:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ A gracious woman acquires honor,
    but cruel people are only interested in acquiring money.
¹⁷ Kindness is its own reward,
    but cruelty is a self-inflicted wound.
¹⁸ The wicked earn a living by deception,
    but the one who plants righteousness gathers a true harvest.
