16 (A)A gracious woman gets honor,
    and (B)violent men get riches.
17 (C)A man who is kind benefits himself,
    but a cruel man hurts himself.
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,
    but one who (D)sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness (E)will live,
    but (F)he who pursues evil will die.
20 Those of (G)crooked heart are (H)an abomination to the Lord,
    but those of (I)blameless ways are (J)his delight.
21 (K)Be assured, (L)an evil person will not go unpunished,
    but (M)the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
