Proverbs 21:13-15
Common English Bible

13 Those who close their ears to the cries of the poor
    will themselves call out but receive no answer.
14 A secret gift calms anger,
    and a hidden bribe removes[a] furious wrath.
15 Acting justly is a joy to the righteous,
    but dreaded by those who do evil.
