Proverbs 21:12-14
New King James Version
12 The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked,
Overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness.
13 (A)Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger,
And a bribe [a]behind the back, strong wrath.
