Proverbs 11:17

A man who is kind benefits himself,

but a cruel man hurts himself.

Those who are kind benefit themselves,

but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.

A kind man benefits himself,

but a cruel person brings ruin on himself.

Your kindness will reward you,

but your cruelty will destroy you.

A person of kindness rewards himself,

but a cruel person harms his own flesh.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:

But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
