15 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe. 16 A kindhearted woman gains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth. 17 Those who are kind benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves. 18 The wicked earn deceptive wages, but those who sow righteousness reap a sure reward. 19 Truly the righteous attain life, but those who pursue evil go to their death. 20 The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless. 21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free. 22 Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. 23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath. 24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. 26 People curse those who hoard grain, but they pray God's blessing on those who are willing to sell. 27 Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to those who search for it. 28 Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. 29 Those who bring ruin on their families will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. (NIV)
