12The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin.
13Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifies anger; and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
15It is joy to the upright to do mishpat ·justice·; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
