Proverbs 19:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Poor people’s relatives ·avoid [^Lhate] them;
    ·even [^Lhow much more do] their friends stay far away.
They run after them, begging,
    but they are gone.

⁸ Those who ·get wisdom [^Lacquire heart] ·do themselves a favor [^Llove themselves],
and those who ·love learning [guard understanding] will succeed.

⁹ A witness who lies will not go ·free [unpunished],
liars will ·die [perish].
