Proverbs 18:14-16
The Message
14 A healthy spirit conquers adversity,
but what can you do when the spirit is crushed?
15 Wise men and women are always learning,
always listening for fresh insights.
16 A gift gets attention;
it buys the attention of eminent people.
Proverbs 18:14-16
New International Version

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.
