Proverbs 21:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴ A gift in secret quiets anger. A gift from the heart quiets strong anger.

¹⁵ When what is right and fair is done, it is a joy for those who are right with God. But it fills the sinful with fear.

¹⁶ A man who goes away from the way of understanding will rest in the gathering of the dead.
