Proverbs 21:13-18
-
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
-
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
-
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
-
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
-
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
-
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
