Proverbs 21:13

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹² The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked; he overthrows the wicked to their ruin. ¹³ The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and will not be answered. ¹⁴ A gift given in secret subdues anger, and a bribe given secretly subdues strong wrath.
