Proverbs 21:12-14

Authorized (King James) Version

¹² The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
    but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,
    he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger:
    and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
