Proverbs 21:13-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ He who ^(A)shuts his ear to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be ^(B)answered.
¹⁴ A ^(C)gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
¹⁵ The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,
But is ^(D)terror to the workers of iniquity.
