Proverbs 11:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 11:18

16 A gracious woman retains honor,
But ruthless men retain riches.

17 ^aThe merciful man does good for his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

18 The wicked man does deceptive work,
But ^ahe who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.

19 As righteousness leads to ^alife,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own ^bdeath.

20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.

21 ^aThough they join¹ forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
But ^bthe posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
