15 Evil 'one' suffereth when he hath been surety 'for' a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour, And terrible 'men' retain riches.
17 A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh.
18 The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness -- a true reward.
19 Rightly 'is' righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil -- for his own death.
