¹⁵ And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.

⁵ All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

⁴ Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.

⁵ Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.

⁵ Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

⁵ But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
