Proverbs 18:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ The gift of a person will open doors for him,
    and before the great, it gives him access.
¹⁷ The first in his dispute is deemed righteous,
    but his neighbor will come and examine him.
¹⁸ The lot will put an end to disputes,
    and between powerful contenders it will decide.
