Proverbs 21:15

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁴
A gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe [hidden] in the pocket, strong wrath.
¹⁵ 
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, the one in right standing with God),
But to the evildoers it is disaster.
¹⁶
A man who wanders from the way of understanding (godly wisdom)
Will remain in the assembly of the dead.
