Proverbs 18:14-16
Modern English Version
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity,
but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent gets knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him,
and brings him before great men.
Proverbs 18:14-16
New International Version
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?(A)
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,(B)
for the ears of the wise seek it out.
16 A gift(C) opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
