Proverbs 19:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ All a poor man’s relatives despise him—
how much more his friends avoid him.
He pursues them with words, but they are not there.
⁸ One who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
One who treasures understanding prospers.
⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who breathes lies will perish.
