^16 (A)A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.

^4 (A)Wealth makes many friends,
But the poor is separated from his friend.

⁶ Many entreat the favor of the nobility,
And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.

^11 (A)He who loves purity of heart
And has grace on his lips,
The king will be his friend.

²⁹ Do you see a man who ^[a]excels in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before ^[b]unknown men.
