Proverbs 11:15-17

Authorized (King James) Version

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

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

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