14 A gift in secret pacifies anger; And a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who wanders out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.
17 He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man: He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; The treacherous for the upright.
