16 A gracious woman obtains honor, But violent men obtain riches.
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 The wicked earns deceitful wages, But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21 Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig`s snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
