Proverbs 19:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ All the relatives of a poor person shun him—
    how much more do his friends avoid him!
Though he runs after them pleading,
    they aren’t around.

⁸ Whoever obtains wisdom loves himself,
    and whoever treasures understanding will prosper.

⁹ A witness to lies will not go unpunished;
    the teller of falsehoods will perish.
