Proverbs 21:11-13

American Standard Version

¹¹ When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise;
And ^[a]when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
^12 [b]The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked,
How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.
¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,
He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
