Proverbs 21:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ When the ^(A)scoffer is punished, the ^[a]naive becomes wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
¹² The righteous one considers the house of the wicked,
Turning the ^(B)wicked to ruin.
¹³ He who ^(C)shuts his ear to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be ^(D)answered.
