Proverbs 11:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Trouble compounds when you guarantee a stranger’s debt,
    but you’ll be safe if you refuse the pledge.
¹⁶ A gracious woman acquires honor,
    but cruel people are only interested in acquiring money.
¹⁷ Kindness is its own reward,
    but cruelty is a self-inflicted wound.
