3 A person’s folly subverts his way,and his heart rages against the Lord.
4 Wealth adds many friends,but a poor person is separated from his friend.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,and the one who spouts out lies will not escape punishment.
6 Many people entreat the favor of a generous person,and everyone is the friend of the person who gives gifts.
7 All the relatives of a poor person hate him;how much more do his friends avoid him – he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.
8 The one who acquires wisdom loves himself;the one who preserves understanding will prosper.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,and the one who spouts out lies will perish.
