What The Bible Said About BRIBERY. by Nobody: 11:30am On Jul 01, 2015 |
I was going through my favorite book in the Bible last night when I stumbled on proverbs 17:8, I was a bit shocked that I've not given this particular verse any attention, even the Sunday schools don't talk about this particular verse. So I decided to check my normal NIV Bible, then I saw why the verse doesn't ring a bell. Different versions of the Bible with different interpretations proverbs 17:8; New Living Translation A bribe is like a lucky charm; whoever gives one will prosper! English Standard Version A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers. New American Standard Bible A bribe is a charm in the sight of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers. King James Bible A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. Social Engineering New International Version A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it; they think success will come at every turn. |

The word translated bribery also means "gift" I think king james and other versions that translates it as gift are more accurate Proverbs 17:8 A gift, in the eyes of its owner, is, a stone of beauty, whithersoever it turneth, it bringeth prosperity. |

Joagbaje: But what's the difference between a gift and a bribe in this context? whithersoever it turneth, it bringeth prosperity. |

Nellizzy: Lol... Read your Bible and tell me again, if there's really a special kind of bribe that passage is talking about. |
