“It is joy to the righteous to do justice;but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.”
Proverbs 21:15 (WEB)
Context Reading
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 righteous to do justice;but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 16The man who wanders out of the way of understandingshall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits. 17He who loves pleasure will be a poor man.He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.
