Proverbs 21:13-15

World English Bible

¹³ Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor,
    he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifies anger,
    and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
¹⁵ It is joy to the righteous to do justice;
    but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
