Proverbs 21:10-16

¹⁰The soul of an unpious man desireth evil; he shall not have mercy on his neighbour.

¹¹When a man full of pestilence is punished, a little man of wit shall be wiser; and if he pursueth or follow a wise man, he shall take knowing.

¹²A just or rightwise man of the house of a wicked man thinketh, to withdraw wicked men from evil.

¹³He that stoppeth his ear at the cry of a poor man, shall cry also, and he shall not be heard.

¹⁴A gift hid quencheth chidings; and a gift in the bosom quencheth most indignation.

¹⁵It is joy to a just or rightwise man to make doom; and it is dread to them that work wickedness.

¹⁶A man that erreth from the way of doctrine, shall dwell in the company of giants, that is, of men evil ruled, either of fiends.
