Proverbs 21:13-15
GOD’S WORD Translation
13 Whoever shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will call and not be answered.
14 A gift ⌞given⌟ in secret calms anger,
and a secret bribe calms great fury.
15 When justice is done, a righteous person is delighted,
but troublemakers are terrified.
Proverbs 21:13-15
New International Version
14 A gift given in secret soothes anger,
and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.(C)
15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous
but terror to evildoers.(D)
