16 A kindhearted woman gains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
16 A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
16 A woman of gentle grace gets respect, but men of rough violence grab for loot. A God-Shaped Life
16 A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches.
16 A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
