Proverbs 18:14-16
New Century Version
14 The will to live can get you through sickness,
but no one can live with a broken spirit.
15 The mind of a person with understanding gets knowledge;
the wise person listens to learn more.
16 Taking gifts to important people
will help get you in to see them.
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.
