Proverbs 18:16-18

Proverbs 18:16-18 AMP

A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him And brings him before great men. [Gen 32:20; 1 Sam 25:27; Prov 17:8; 21:14] The first one to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and cross-examines him. To cast lots puts an end to quarrels And decides between powerful contenders.
