Proverbs 11:17-19

American Standard Version

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;
But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
¹⁸ The wicked earneth deceitful wages;
But he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
^19 [a]He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;
And he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.
