Proverbs 21:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ A gift in secret^[a] will avert anger,^[b]
    and a concealed bribe,^[c] strong wrath.
¹⁵ It is a joy to the righteous to do justice,
    but dismay to those who do evil.
¹⁶ Whoever wanders from the way of understanding,
    in the assembly of the dead^[d] he will rest.
