Proverbs 21:13-17 English Revised Version (ERV)

13. Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

14. A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.

15. It is joy to the righteous to do judgment; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

16. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the dead.

17. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
