4 Riches increase one’s friends,but the poor lose their friends.
5 A false witness won’t go unpunished,and a liar won’t escape.
6 Many seek favor from rulers;everyone befriends a gift giver.
7 All the relatives of the poor hate them;even more, their friends stay far from them.When they pursue them with words, they aren’t there.
8 Those who acquire good sense love themselves;those who keep understanding find success.
9 False witnesses won’t go unpunished,and liars will perish.
10 Luxury isn’t fitting for a fool;even less so for a servant to rule over princes.
