Proverbs 19:7-9
Amplified Bible
7
All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
8
He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.
9
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes lies will perish.

how much more do their friends avoid them!(A)

they are nowhere to be found.[a](B)
8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.(C)
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will perish.(D)
