Proverbs
Chapters 11:15-21
New International Version Anglicized
15Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer,but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.
16A kind-hearted woman gains honour,but ruthless men gain only wealth.
17Those who are kind benefit themselves,but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
18A wicked person earns deceptive wages,but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19Truly the righteous attain life,but whoever pursues evil finds death.
20The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
21Be sure of this: the wicked will not go unpunished,but those who are righteous will go free.
