16 A person’s gift opens doors for him, bringing him access to important people.
4 Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
6 Many curry favor of an official; everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
11 Whoever loves purity[a] and gracious speech will gain the king as his friend.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will work for kings, not unimportant people.
