Proverbs 21:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ A gift in secret averts anger;
    and a concealed bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
¹⁵ When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous,
    but dismay to evildoers.
¹⁶ Whoever wanders from the way of understanding
    will rest in the assembly of the dead.
