bribe, give a present; offer payment to corrupt judgment or gain favor
This verb means to give a bribe or corrupt gift, universally condemned in Scripture. Ezekiel 16:33 uses it in shocking imagery: unfaithful Jerusalem 'bribed' her lovers to come to her, reversing normal prostitution economics—she paid them rather than receiving payment. Job 6:22 uses it hypothetically: Job asks if he ever requested his friends to 'give a bribe on my behalf' to powerful enemies. The verb derives from the noun for bribe (shochad). Spanish sobornar and French donner (in this context) convey the corrupt transaction. The term always carries negative moral weight—bribery perverts justice and loyalty, whether in courts or covenant relationships.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — To offer a bribe or corrupting payment, appearing in Job 6:22 and Ezekiel 16:33. Job uses it hypothetically: he never asked friends to bribe others on his behalf, asserting his integrity. Ezekiel uses it in prophetic metaphor: apostate Jerusalem bribed her lovers, showing spiritual perversion—she paid for what should have brought profit. Spanish 'sobornar, sobornaste' (to bribe, you bribed) and the English 'bribe' uniformly carry negative moral judgment. Both contexts condemn the practice, whether potential (Job) or actual (Ezekiel). 2×
