4 Wealthy people are always finding more friends.But the poor lose their friends.
5 A witness who lies will be punished.An untruthful person will not be left unpunished.
6 Many people want to please a leader.And everyone is friends with those who give gifts.
7 A poor person’s relatives avoid him.Even his friends stay far away!He runs after them, begging.But they are gone.
8 The person who gets wisdom is good to himself.And the one who has understanding will succeed.
9 A witness who lies will be punished.An untruthful person will die.
