Proverbs 21:12-15

View Full Chapter

12The Righteous One Or The righteous person takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

13Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.

14A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

15When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
