Proverbs 21:12

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹¹
When the scoffer is punished, the naive [observes the lesson and] becomes wise;
But when the wise and teachable person is instructed, he receives knowledge.
¹² 
The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked—
How the wicked are cast down to ruin.
¹³
Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor
Will cry out himself and not be answered.
