Proverbs 21:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² The righteous one considers the house of the wicked,
Turning the ^(A)wicked to ruin.
¹³ He who ^(B)shuts his ear to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be ^(C)answered.
¹⁴ A ^(D)gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
