Proverbs 11:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ A woman who has a kind heart gains honor.
    But men who are not kind gain only wealth.

¹⁷ Those who are kind benefit themselves.
    But mean people bring ruin on themselves.

¹⁸ An evil person really earns nothing.
    But the one who plants what is right will certainly be rewarded.
