Proverbs 21:12

JusticeJudgment

10 The soul of the wicked man craves evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.

The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.

14 A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.
