Proverbs 19:7-9
Complete Jewish Bible
7 A poor man’s relatives all hate him;
even more his friends stay away from him.
He may pursue them with entreaties,
but they aren’t there to be found.
8 To acquire good sense is to love oneself;
to treasure discernment is to prosper.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished;
whoever breathes out lies will perish.
Proverbs 19:7-9
New International Version
Proverbs 19:7-9

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!(A)
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
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)
