¹⁴ A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.

¹⁴ By a secret offering wrath is turned away, and the heat of angry feelings by money in the folds of the robe.

¹⁴ A quietly given gift soothes an irritable person; a heartfelt present cools a hot temper.
