Pr 21:14 - what is it really saying?
« Thread Started on Apr 29, 2005, 10:38am »
here are some translations:

King James Version
A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

Amplified Bible
A gift in secret pacifies and turns away anger, and a bribe in the lap, strong wrath.

New International Version
A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

The Message
A quietly given gift soothes an irritable person; a heartfelt present cools a hot temper.

Contemporary English Version
A secret bribe will save you from someone's fierce anger.

What do you understand this to say? instruction/observation? what?

Hey sis.

Bake them a cake and love the hell out of them. ;)

We have a supervisor that nobody likes so I figure she needs someone (genuine). I say that because people are fake. Go up to her one day and smile and the next (call her yo-yo) but I try to be genuine. So since I'm giving, I give gifts. I love giving. But I don't honestly think that if someone really offends me that I will bake them a cake but if I did, God will bless me (even if they throw it away). He will bless me spiritually because it takes a big man or woman to humble themselves and make themselves low.

But on the other hands why should we let someone step on our toes? >:( :-X oh lawd, here I go...

But notice they said secret. Not in front of everybody.

;D

even if they throw away the package, they are left with the gift of your love extended that really can't be (maybe ignored, but not) tossed :-X
