Proverbs 11:16
King James Version
“A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong retain riches.”
Context
13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14Where no counsel the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors safety.
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.
