Proverbs 11:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
He who puts up security and guarantees a debt for an outsider will surely suffer [for his foolishness],
But he who hates (declines) being a guarantor is secure [from its penalties].
¹⁶ 
A gracious and good woman attains honor,
And ruthless men attain riches [but not respect].
¹⁷ 
The merciful and generous man benefits his soul [for his behavior returns to bless him],
But the cruel and callous man does himself harm.
