¹⁶ A man’s gift maketh room for him,
And bringeth him before great men.

⁴ Wealth addeth many friends;
But ^[a]the poor is separated from his friend.

⁶ Many will entreat the favor of ^[a]the liberal man;
And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

¹¹ He that loveth ^[a]pureness of heart,
^[b]For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

²⁹ Seest thou a man ^[a]diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings;
He shall not stand before ^[b]mean men.
