Proverbs 21:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
In context
13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.
14 A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.
15 Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17 He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
