15 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
16 A gracious woman gets honor,and violent men get riches.
17 A man who is kind benefits himself,but a cruel man hurts himself.
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live,but he who pursues evil will die.
20 Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord,but those of blameless ways are his delight.
21 Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished,but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
