Proverbs 19:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷All the brothers of the poor, if they hate him,
    how much more will his friends keep away from him.
    He pursues them with words, and they are gone.^[a]
⁸He who acquires wisdom loves himself;^[b]
    he who guards understanding loves to find good.
⁹A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and he who breathes lies will perish.
