Proverbs 21:11-15

When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, Bringing the wicked to ruin.

One who shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor Will also call out himself, and not be answered.

A gift in secret subdues anger, And a bribe in an inside pocket, strong wrath.

The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, But terror to those who practice injustice.
