Proverbs 21:12-14
Complete Jewish Bible

12 The Righteous One observes the house of the wicked;
    he overthrows the wicked to their ruin.
13 Whoever stops up his ears at the cry of the poor
    will himself cry, but not be answered.

14 A secret gift allays anger,
    and a bribe under the cloak the strongest fury.
