Proverbs 21:13-15
Amplified Bible

13 
Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor
Will cry out himself and not be answered.(A)
14 
A gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe [hidden] in the pocket, strong wrath.
15 
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, the one in right standing with God),
But to the evildoers it is disaster.
