"A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones."
Em contexto
27A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.
28The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
29A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones.
30He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity.
31Presents and gifts blind the eyes of judges, and make them dumb in the mouth, so that they cannot correct.
