Proverbs 21:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 One who (A)shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor
Will also call out himself, and not be (B)answered.
14 A (C)gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe [a]in an inside pocket, strong wrath.
15 The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,
But (D)terror to those who practice injustice.

13 Den som håller för öronen för den fattiges rop,
kommer själv att få ropa utan att någon svarar.
14 En gåva i hemlighet stillar vrede,
en muta i det fördolda lugnar förbittring.
15 När rättvisan gäller gläds de rättfärdiga,
och de som gör orätt förfäras.
Proverbs 21:13-15
New King James Version
13 (A)Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be heard.

And a bribe [a]behind the back, strong wrath.
15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
