Proverbs 21:11-13
The Voice

11 A naive person wises up when he sees a mocker punished.
    A wise person becomes even wiser just by being instructed.
12 The right-living understands how evildoers operate;
    he subverts them and ruins their plans.
13 If you ignore the groans of the poor,
    one day your own cries for help will go unanswered.

11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;

13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor
    will also cry out(C) and not be answered.(D)
