Proverbs 18:16-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
16
A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people.
17
The first to plead his case
seems
right,
Until
another comes and examines him.
18
The
cast
lot puts an end to quarrels,
And decides between the mighty ones.
King James Version
Chapter 18
16
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17
He that is
first in his own cause
seemeth
just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

Giving a gift can open doors;

it settles disputes between powerful opponents.
