Proverbs 21:13-15
Lexham English Bible

13 He who closes his ear from the cry of the poor,
    he also will cry out and not be heard.
14 A gift in secret[a] will avert anger,[b]
    and a concealed bribe,[c] strong wrath.
15 It is a joy to the righteous to do justice,
    but dismay to those who do evil.
