Proverbs 19:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ If someone is poor, all his family hate him.
    His friends stay away from him.
Even if he goes to ask them for help,
    he cannot find them anywhere.
⁸ If you learn to be wise,
    it shows that you love yourself.
If you understand what is right,
    you will do well.
⁹ If you tell lies in court, the judge will certainly punish you.
    That will be the end of you!
