Proverbs 21:14-16

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

¹⁵ It is a joy to the just to do judgment, but destruction shall come to the workers of iniquity.

¹⁶ The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
