Proverbs 21:12-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. The righteous observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked to ruin.

13. He who closes his ear from the cry of the poor, he also will cry out and not be heard.

14. A gift in secret will avert anger, and a concealed bribe, strong wrath.

15. It is a joy to the righteous to do justice, but dismay to those who do evil.

16. Whoever wanders from the way of understanding, in the assembly of the dead he will rest.
