Proverbs 17:8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it; they think success will come at every turn. A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers. Receiving a gift is like getting a rare gemstone; any way you look at it, you see beauty refracted. A bribe is a charm in the sight of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers. A bribe is like a lucky charm; whoever gives one will prosper! A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. Some people think they can pay others to do anything they ask. They think it will work every time. A bribe is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers. Wise instruction is like a costly gem. It turns the impossible into success.
