PROVERBS 11:15-19

¹⁵He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: but he that hateth suretiship is sure.

¹⁶A gracious woman retaineth honour: and violent men retain riches.

¹⁷The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁸The wicked earneth deceitful wages: but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.

¹⁹He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life: and he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.
