13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a present in the bosom, vehement fury.
15It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.
16The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.
