Proverbs 21:11-13

New King James Version

¹¹ When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise;
But when the ^(A)wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

¹² The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked,
Overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness.

^13 (B)Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be heard.
