Proverbs 21:17

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.

The man who wanders out of the way of understanding

shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,

the treacherous for the upright.

It is better to dwell in a desert land,

than with a contentious and fretful woman.

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,

but a foolish man swallows it up.
