Sirach 20:27-29
Wycliffe Bible
27 A wise man in words shall bring forth himself; and a prudent man shall please great men.
28 He that worketh his land, shall make high the heap of fruits; and he that worketh rightfulness, shall be enhanced (or exalted) [or and who worketh rightwiseness, he shall much be enhanced]. Soothly he that pleaseth great men, shall escape wickedness.
29 Presents and gifts blind the eyes of judges; and as (one) dumb in the mouth it turneth away the chastisings of them. [Presents and gifts full out blind the eyes of doomsmen; and as a dumb in the mouth he turneth away the chastisings of them.]
