'Gives' in the Bible
For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners,Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance].
The ear that listens to and learns from the life-giving rebuke (reprimand, censure)Will remain among the wise.
An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.
A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;Wherever he turns, he prospers.
A man lacking common sense gives a pledgeAnd becomes guarantor [for the debt of another] in the presence of his neighbor.
Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man,And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts.
He craves all the day long [and does no work],But the righteous [willingly] gives and does not withhold [what he has].
He who is generous will be blessed,For he gives some of his food to the poor.
He who oppresses or exploits the poor to get more for himselfOr who gives to the rich [to gain influence and favor], will only come to poverty.
Like one who [absurdly] binds a stone in a sling [making it impossible to throw],So is he who [absurdly] gives honor to a fool.
He who gives to the poor will never want,But he who shuts his eyes [from their need] will have many curses.
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
