16 A gift(A) opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

bringing him access to important people.
Proverbs 25:6-7
New International Version
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(A)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
Proverbs 25:6-7
International Standard Version
6 Don’t magnify yourself in the presence of a king,
and don’t pretend to be in the company of famous men,
7 for it is better that it be told you, “Come up here,”
than for you to be placed lower
in the presence of an official.
