Proverbs 21:14-16
King James Version
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall 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)
