Proverbs 19:6

Lexham English Bible

⁶Many will seek favor before the generous,
and everyone is the friend of a man of gifts.^[a]

Proverbs 19:6

Common English Bible

⁶Many seek favor from rulers;
everyone befriends a gift giver.

¹⁰For a fool living in luxury is not fitting,
any more than it is for a slave to rule over princes.

¹⁰Luxury isn’t fitting for a fool;
even less so for a servant to rule over princes.

¹²The rage of a king growls like a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.

¹²A raging king roars like a lion;
his favor is like the dew on the grass.
