Proverbs 21:13 Context
11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiueth knowledge. 12The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their wickednesse. 13Whoso stoppeth his eares at the cry of the poore, hee also shall cry himselfe, but shall not be heard. 14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a reward in the bosome, strong wrath. 15It is ioy to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.
