Proverbs 21:13-15
New Life Version
13 He who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be answered.
14 A gift in secret quiets anger. A gift from the heart quiets strong anger.
15 When what is right and fair is done, it is a joy for those who are right with God. But it fills the sinful with fear.

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)
