¹⁶ A gracious woman obtains honor,
    but violent men obtain riches.
¹⁷ The merciful man does good to his own soul,
    but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
¹⁸ Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
    but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

²⁸ He who trusts in his riches will fall,
    but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

¹¹ Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
    but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

¹⁶ Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,
    than great treasure with trouble.
