Proverbs 11:15-17
Evangelical Heritage Version

15 Guaranteeing a loan for a stranger leads to trouble,
but one who hates to shake hands[a] remains secure.
16 A gracious woman takes hold of honor,
but ruthless men take hold of riches.[b]
17 A merciful man benefits his own soul,
but a cruel man brings trouble on his own flesh.
