Proverbs 11:16-20

A gracious woman attains honor, And ruthless men attain riches.

A merciful person does himself good, But the cruel person does himself harm.

A wicked person earns deceptive wages, But one who sows righteousness gets a true reward.

One who is steadfast in righteousness attains life, But one who pursues evil attains his own death.

The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord, But the blameless in their walk are His delight.
