Proverbs 18:16 (Listen)

16 A man's qgift makes room for him

and brings him before the great.

4 fWealth brings many new friends,

fbut a poor man is deserted by his friend.

6 Many seek the favor of a generous man,1

and everyone is a friend to a man who gives igifts.

[1] 19:6 Or of a noble

11 He who floves purity of heart,

and whose gspeech is gracious, hwill have the king as his friend.

29 Do you see a man skillful in his work?

He will bstand before kings;

he will not stand before obscure men.
