Proverbs 21:13-15

Young's Literal Translation

¹³Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.

¹⁴A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom strong fury.

¹⁵To do justice [is] joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.

Proverbs 21:13-15

and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.^(C)

but terror to evildoers.^(D)
