Proverbs 21:14-18

¹⁴A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a bribe in the bosom, strong fury.

¹⁵It is joy to the righteous to execute justice; but it is a terror to wrong-doers.

¹⁶The man that wandereth astray out of the way of intelligence shall rest in the assembly of the departed.

¹⁷He that loveth pleasure will be a man of want: he that loveth wine and oil will not become rich.

¹⁸The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the treacherous shall be put in the stead of the upright.
