Proverbs 21:15
It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
In context
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 understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
17He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
