Bribery and the Value of Silence

Proverbs 17:23-28
23
From under a cloak a bad man takes a bribe to pervert the course of justice.
24
The discerning person focuses on wisdom there before him, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
25
A son who is a fool means anger for his father and bitterness for the mother who gave him birth.
26
To punish the innocent is not right, likewise to flog noble people for their uprightness.
27
A knowledgeable person controls his tongue; a discerning person controls his temper.
28
Even a fool, if he stays silent, is thought wise; he who keeps his mouth shut can pass for smart.
