Proverbs 21:14-19 God's Word Translation (GW)

14. A gift ⌊given⌋ in secret calms anger,and a secret bribe calms great fury.

15. When justice is done, a righteous person is delighted,but troublemakers are terrified.

16. A person who wanders from the way of wise behaviorwill rest in the assembly of the dead.

17. Whoever loves pleasure will become poor.Whoever loves wine and expensive food will not become rich.

18. Wicked people become a ransom for righteous people,and treacherous people will take the place of decent people.

19. Better to live in a desertthan with a quarreling and angry woman.
