Proverbs 21:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² The Righteous One knows what happens in the homes of wicked people.^[a]
    He punishes them as they deserve.
¹³ If you refuse to listen when poor people ask for help,
    you too will receive no help when you need it.
¹⁴ If someone is angry with you, give him a gift secretly.
    A secret bribe will make him quiet, even if he is very angry.
