¹⁶ The gift of a man alargeth his way; and maketh space to him before princes. (Giving a gift openeth, or smootheth, one’s way; and maketh an opening for thee among the leaders, or among the powerful.)

⁴ Riches increase full many friends; forsooth also they be departed from a poor man, which he had (but the friends which a poor person had, shall soon depart).

⁶ Many men honour the person of a mighty man; and they be friends of him that dealeth (out) gifts.

¹¹ He that loveth the cleanness of heart, shall have the king (for) a friend, for the grace of his lips (for the eloquence of his words).

²⁹ Thou hast seen a man smart in his work; he shall stand before kings, and he shall not be before unnoble men.
