Proverbs 21:14-16

World English Bible

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifies anger,
    and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
¹⁵ It is joy to the righteous to do justice;
    but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
¹⁶ The man who wanders out of the way of understanding
    shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
