Proverbs21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
This first verse is the opposite of what we have seen in scripture when it says “give and it shall be given to you”. Those who refuse to listen when they should will also not be heard when they need someone to listen. When you do give gifts it should not be to gain recognition but in secret to possibly prevent someone from getting angry thinking it may be bride. Then when it is a gift from the heart it will stop all anger and hurt and wrath. Last we see it is joy to the righteous that treat people fairly because they know they are pleasing God. But the workers of iniquity are afraid someone is going to find out just how bad they really are while all the time headed for death and destruction. Let us gain from these verse that we do not need to overlook the poor and in giving do it humbly and from the heart and last treat people with respect and that is what you will receive.
