Bribery and the Value of Silence

Proverbs 17:23-28
23
A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24
The face of the intelligent is to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool--at the end of the earth.
25
A provocation to his father is a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26
Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
27
One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper is a man of understanding.
28
Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!
