Verse 15 is found in chapter 21 of Proverbs. Living with a contentious person can turn one’s own house into a place of conflict. The wise observe how the wicked act and learn from their consequences. Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor should not expect his own cry to be heard. The passage presents mercy as a concrete dimension of justice, not merely as a feeling.
