Proverbs 19:7-9

The Voice

⁷ If a poor man is hated by his relatives,
    it is even more likely his friends will avoid him too!
Anyone who is calling after them
    [is not to be found].^[a]
8 Whoever gains a wise heart loves his own soul,
    and whoever preserves understanding experiences true goodness.
⁹ A false witness will not escape punishment,
    and whoever breathes lies will not survive.
