4 Wealth makes many “friends”;poverty drives them all away.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,nor will a liar escape.
6 Many seek favors from a ruler;everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!
7 The relatives of the poor despise them;how much more will their friends avoid them!Though the poor plead with them,their friends are gone.
8 To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;people who cherish understanding will prosper.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,and a liar will be destroyed.
10 It isn’t right for a fool to live in luxuryor for a slave to rule over princes!
