Proverbs

³The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah. ⁴Wealth addeth many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend. ⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape. ⁶Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. ⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone. ⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good. ⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish.
