Proverbs 22:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.

¹⁰ Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out with him, and quarrels and reproaches shall cease.

¹¹ He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.
