Proverbs 21:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.

¹³ He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.

¹⁴ A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath.
