Proverbs 11:18

He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it,

but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.

A gracious woman obtains honor,

but violent men obtain riches.

The merciful man does good to his own soul,

but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

He who is truly righteous gets life.

He who pursues evil gets death.

Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD,

but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.

Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished,

but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
