Proverbs 11:17DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 17 of 31
"The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but cruel troubleth his own flesh."
In context
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart : and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
16A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong retain riches.
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness a sure reward.
19As righteousness to life: so he that pursueth evil to his own death.
