Proverbs 21:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 When a scoffer is punished, the simple become wiser;
when the wise are instructed, they increase in knowledge.
12 The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked;
he casts the wicked down to ruin.
13 If you close your ear to the cry of the poor,
you will cry out and not be heard.
Proverbs 21:11-13
New International Version
11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.(A)
