Proverbs 19:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ A poor person’s relatives avoid him.
    Even his friends stay far away!
He runs after them, begging.
    But they are gone.

⁸ The person who gets wisdom is good to himself.
    And the one who has understanding will succeed.

⁹ A witness who lies will be punished.
    An untruthful person will die.
