Proverbs 21:14-18

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.

A person who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.

One who loves pleasure will become a poor person; One who loves wine and oil will not become rich.

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
