Proverbs 21:12

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop

than to share a house with a contentious woman.

The soul of the wicked desires evil;

his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom.

When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor,

he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

A gift in secret pacifies anger,

and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.

It is joy to the righteous to do justice;

but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
