Proverbs 19:7-9
New King James Version

7 (A)All the brothers of the poor hate him;
How much more do his friends go (B)far from him!
He may pursue them with words, yet they [a]abandon him.

8 He who gets [b]wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding (C)will find good.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies shall perish.

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)
