Prudence, Mercy, and Reward
Proverbs 11:15-21
15
Evil one suffereth when he hath been surety for a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.
16
A gracious woman retaineth honour, And terrible men retain riches.
17
A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh.
18
The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness--a true reward.
19
Rightly is righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil--for his own death.
20
An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.
21
Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.
