Proverbs 21:13

13 If you refuse to listen to the cries of poor people, you too will cry out and not be answered.

Proverbs 21:13 In-Context

11 When you punish someone who makes fun of others, childish people get wise. If you teach a person who is already wise, he will get even more knowledge.
12 The Blameless One knows where sinners live. And he destroys them.
13 If you refuse to listen to the cries of poor people, you too will cry out and not be answered.
14 A secret gift calms anger down. A hidden favor softens great anger.
15 When you do what is fair, you make godly people glad. But you terrify those who do what is evil.
