Proverbs 18:16 A gift gets attention; it buys the attention of eminent people. Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people! A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great. A man’s gift makes room for him And brings him before great men. A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. Taking gifts to important people will help get you in to see them. A man’s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men. A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him And brings him before great men. Would you like to meet a very important person? Take a generous gift. It will do wonders to gain entrance into his presence.
