Proverbs21:14
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a reward in the bosom, strong wrath.
To a person loffended and angry with us, as the following words shew.
Which makes it more acceptable; for gifts openly given savour of ostentation in the giver, and cause some shame or contempt to the receiver.
Secretly conveyed into his bosom. See on Prov. 17. 8. & 18. 16.
