Proverbs 21:13

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

¹² The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

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.

¹⁵ Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
