Proverbs 21:12-14
Common English Bible

12 The righteous one observes the house of the wicked,
    turning the wicked toward trouble.
13 Those who close their ears to the cries of the poor
    will themselves call out but receive no answer.
14 A secret gift calms anger,
    and a hidden bribe removes[a] furious wrath.
