Tjeckiska

BKR Jako kámen drahý, tak bývá vzácný dar před očima toho, kdož jej béře; k čemukoli směřuje, daří se jemu.

Svenska

SRB26 En gåva är som en ädelsten i givarens ögon, vart han än vänder sig har han framgång.

SKB En gåva (muta) fungerar som en skinande diamant [ordagrant ”en sten som charmerar”] för den som ger den, varthelst han vänder sig ger den honom framgång. [Versen kan tolkas positivt att en gåva stillar vrede, se Ords 21:14. Ordet gåva kan också översättas muta vilket inte är accepterat enligt judisk lag, och då är versen en sorglig kommentar om det mänskliga beteendet, se vers 23.]
