Proverbs 21:14-16

American Standard Version

¹⁴ A gift in secret ^[a]pacifieth anger;
And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.
¹⁵ It is joy to the righteous to do justice;
^[b]But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
¹⁶ The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding
Shall rest in the assembly of ^[c]the dead.
