Proverbs 19:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ All the brothers of the poor hate him;
    how much more do his friends go far from him!
He pursues them with words,
    yet they abandon him.

⁸ He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
    he who keeps understanding will find good.

⁹ A false witness will not be unpunished,
    and he who speaks lies will perish.
