12A just man of the house of a wicked man thinketh, to withdraw wicked men from evil. (The righteous think about the wicked in their houses, but it is God who shall throw down the wicked for their evil./The just God thinketh about the house of the wicked, and he shall throw down the wicked for their evil.)
13He that stoppeth his ear at the cry of a poor man, shall cry also (or shall also cry), and he shall not be heard.
14A gift hid quencheth chidings (or A secret gift quencheth arguments); and a gift in the bosom quencheth most indignation.
15It is joy to a just man to make doom; and it is dread to them that work wickedness. (It is a joy for the righteous to see justice done; but judgement bringeth ruin to those who work wickedness.)
