16 A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
Initially this verse seems to praise both graciousness and violence. That disconnection from the rest of scripture (and common sense) caused me to take a second look. I've narrowed it down to three possible meanings: 1) violent is meant to imply aggression so that a bold man gains riches 2) it is meant to show that because graciousness is more desirable than violence, then honor must be more desirable than riches 3) finally it could simply mean that as surely as a violent man gains, a gracious woman gains.
