Bribery and the Value of Silence

Proverbs 17:23-28
23
The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
24
Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
25
A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
26
It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
27
He that setteth bounds to his words, is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
28
Even a fool, if he will hold his peace, shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
