Proverbs 11:17-19

Authorized (King James) Version

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

¹⁸ The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
    but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life:
    so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
