Proverbs 21:14-16 NIV

Proverbs 21:14-16 NIV [14] A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath. [15] When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. [16] Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
