16A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth.
17The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.
18The sinner gets the payment of deceit; but his reward is certain who puts in the seed of righteousness.
19So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.
20The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight
21Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe.
22Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense.
