Proverbs 21:9-14

⁹Better is it to dwell in a corner of the housetop Than with a brawling woman in a large house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked longeth to do evil; His neighbor findeth no compassion in his eyes.

¹¹When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; When the wise man is taught, he receiveth knowledge.

¹²The righteous man hath regard to the house of the wicked; He casteth the wicked headlong into ruin.

¹³Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry aloud, but shall not be heard.

¹⁴A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.
