Proverbs

³The foolishness of man subverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD. 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 favour 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.
