Theme Proverbs 11:17 – “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.” The wise person is a merciful person.

The Character of the Merciless Proverbs 12:10 says, “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” In essence, the cruel or merciless man shows no value of life.

The Conduct of the Merciless 1.They oppress the poor (Prov. 14:31). 2.They build themselves up by taking advantage of others (Prov. 22:16). 3.They have no compassion for others (Prov. 22:22).

The Catastrophe of the Merciless Proverbs 11:17 says, “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.”

How Can a Person be Merciful? 1.By diligently reading and applying God’s Word (Prov. 3:1-4) 2.By treating all men equally (Prov. 14:20-21)

What Happens to a Merciful Person? 1.The merciful does good to his soul (Prov. 11:17). 2.The merciful is happy (Prov. 14:21). 3.The merciful maintain relationships (Prov. 16:6). 4.The merciful will find life, righteousness, and honor (Prov. 21:21). 5.The merciful will always prosper (Prov. 20:28).
