Proverbs 21:12-14

21st Century King James Version

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

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

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
