and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor
will also cry out and not be answered.
Proverbs Club Commentary
You can shut your breathing.
You can shut your eyes.
You can shut your mouth.
But you cannot shut your ears.
You will be ignored when you need help
if you ignore the plight of the poor.
