Proverbs 11:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ A man who is kind benefits himself,
    but a cruel man hurts himself.
¹⁸ A wicked man earns deceptive wages,
    but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
¹⁹ He who is steadfast in righteousness will live,
    but he who pursues evil will die.
