Proverbs 21:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ If you close your ear to the cry of the poor,
    you will cry out and not be heard.
¹⁴ A gift in secret averts anger;
    and a concealed bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
¹⁵ When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous,
    but dismay to evildoers.
