Proverbs 21:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ When a mocker is punished, the fool gains wisdom;
    but when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
¹² The righteous God^[a] considers the house of the wicked,
    bringing the wicked to ruin.

¹³ Whoever refuses to hear the cry of the poor
    will also cry himself, but he won’t be answered.
