Proverbs 18:14-16

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;
    but a wounded spirit who can bear?

¹⁵ The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
    and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

¹⁶ A man’s gift maketh room for him,
    and bringeth him before great men.
