Proverbs 19:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷If the poor are hated even by their kin,
    how much more are they shunned by their friends!

⁸To get wisdom is to love oneself;
    to keep understanding is to prosper.
⁹A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and the liar will perish.
