Proverbs 21:14-16

Darby Translation

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a present in the bosom, vehement fury.

¹⁵ It is joy to a righteous [man] to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.

¹⁶ The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.
