Proverbs 11:15-17
Wycliffe Bible
15 He that maketh faith, that is, (an) obligation, for a stranger, shall be tormented with evil; but he that escheweth snares, shall be secure.
16 A gracious woman shall find glory (A gracious woman shall receive honour); and strong men shall have riches.
17 A merciful man doeth well to his soul (A merciful person doeth good to his own soul); but he that is cruel, casteth away, yea, (even his own) kinsmen.

New International Version
15 Whoever puts up security(A) for a stranger will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.(B)
16 A kindhearted woman gains honor,(C)
but ruthless men gain only wealth.

but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
