Proverbs 11:17-19

¹⁷A merciful man doeth well to his soul (or A merciful person doeth good to his own soul); but he that is cruel, casteth away, yea, (even his own) kinsmen.

¹⁸A wicked man maketh unstable work; but faithful meed is to him, that soweth rightfulness. (There is no surety with the work of the wicked; but there is a sure reward for those who sow goodness.)

¹⁹Mercy shall make ready life; and the following of evil, death. (Mercy bringeth forth life; but death followeth after evil.)
