everyone befriends a gift giver.

¹⁰Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

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

but his favor is like dew on the grass.

his favor is like the dew on the grass.
