¹⁶ A man’s gift makes room for him
    and brings him before great men.

⁴ Wealth brings many new friends,
    but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

⁶ Many seek the favor of a generous man,
    and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

¹¹ He who loves purity of heart,
    and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend.

²⁹ Do you see a man skilful in his work?
    he will stand before kings;
    he will not stand before obscure men.
