17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but the cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18The wicked worketh a deceitful work; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
19As righteousness tendeth to life, so he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.
20The perverse in heart are abomination to Jehovah; but they that are perfect in their way are his delight.
