Bribery and the Value of Silence
Proverbs 17:23-28
23
¶ A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24
¶ Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25
¶ A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26
¶ Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
27
¶ He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
