Proverbs 21:13-15

New Life Version

¹³ He who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be answered.

¹⁴ A gift in secret quiets anger. A gift from the heart quiets strong anger.

¹⁵ When what is right and fair is done, it is a joy for those who are right with God. But it fills the sinful with fear.
