I think lam·ma·‘ă·nê·hū ( 4617) in pro 16:4 meaning is same as recompense ( like ih7999 in hos 12:2)or pro 11:31) or reward (like h7999 in deu 32:41 ,g514 in luk23:41) or repay

Hos 12:2    The LORD H3068  hath also a controversy H7379  with H5973  Judah, H3063  and will punish H6485   H5921  Jacob H3290  according to his ways; H1870  according to his doings H4611  will he recompense H7725  him.
Pro 11:31    Behold, H2005  the righteous H6662  shall be recompensed H7999  in the earth: H776  much more H637   H3588  the wicked H7563  and the sinner. H2398 
Deu 32:41    If H518  I whet H8150  my glittering H1300  sword, H2719  and mine hand H3027  take hold H270 on judgment; H4941  I will render H7725  vengeance H5359  to mine enemies, H6862  and will reward H7999  them that hate H8130  me
Luk 23:41    And G2532  we G2249  indeed G3303  justly; G1346  for G1063  we receive G618  the due reward G514  of our deeds: G3739   G4238  but G1161  this man G3778  hath done G4238  nothing G3762 amiss. G824
