Proverbs 11:17-19

¹⁷A merciful man doeth well to his soul; but he that is cruel, casteth away, yea, kinsmen.

¹⁸A wicked man maketh unstable work; but faithful meed is to him, that soweth rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁹Mercy shall make ready life; and the pursuing or the following of evil, death.
