Commentary for Proverbs 17:8
אֶֽבֶן־חֵ֣ן הַ֭שֹּׁחַד בְּעֵינֵ֣י בְעָלָ֑יו אֶֽל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֖ר יִפְנֶ֣ה יַשְׂכִּֽיל׃
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever he turneth, he prospereth.
Rashi on Proverbs
a precious stone When a person comes before the Holy One, blessed be He, and placates Him with words and returns to Him, it is as a precious stone and as pearls in His eyes.
