27A wise man shall promote himselfe to honour with his words: and hee that hath vnderstanding, will please great men. 28He that tilleth his land, shall increase his heape: and he that pleaseth great men, shal get pardon for iniquity. 29Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stoppe vp his mouth that he cannot reprooue. 30Wisedome that is hidde, and treasure that is hoarded vp, what profit is in them both? 31Better is he that hideth his folly, then a man that hideth his wisedome.
