Proverbs 21:11
King James Version
“When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.”
Context
8The way of man froward and strange: but the pure, his work right.
9better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12The righteous wisely considereth the house of the wicked: overthroweth the wicked for wickedness.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
