Proverbs 19:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and a liar will not escape.
⁶ Many seek the favour of the generous,
    and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
⁷ If the poor are hated even by their kin,
    how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there.^[a]
