Proverbs 17:8

New International Version

⁸A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
they think success will come at every turn.^(A)

Proverbs 17:8

King James Version

⁸A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

⁸A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

¹⁶A gift^(A) opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

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

¹⁶^(A)A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.

New International Version (NIV)
