Proverbs 11:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ Kindness is its own reward,
    but cruelty is a self-inflicted wound.
¹⁸ The wicked earn a living by deception,
    but the one who plants righteousness gathers a true harvest.
¹⁹ Indeed, those who do what is right will live a good life,
    but those who pursue evil will die.
