6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
6 Many seek the favor of a generous man,
6 Lots of people flock around a generous person; everyone's a friend to the philanthropist.
6 Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
6 Many seek favors from a ruler; everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!

We are without excuse if we do not love God with all our hearts. His gifts to us are past number, and all the gifts of men to us are fruits of his bounty.
