Proverbs 21:14-16
Modern English Version
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger,
and a concealed bribe strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do justice,
but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who wanders out of the way of understanding
will remain in the congregation of the dead.

Proverbs 21:14-16
New International Version
14 A gift given in secret soothes anger,
and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.(A)
15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous
but terror to evildoers.(B)
16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence
comes to rest in the company of the dead.(C)
