Proverbs 19:3-11

³The folly of man destroyeth his way, And then his heart fretteth against the LORD.

⁴Wealth maketh many friends; But the poor is separated from his neighbor.

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

⁶Many are they who caress the noble, And every one is the friend of him who giveth gifts.

⁷All the brethren of the poor man hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He runneth after their words,—they are gone!

⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth himself; He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall perish.

¹⁰Luxury is not seemly for a fool; Much less should a servant have rule over princes.

¹¹A man of understanding is slow to anger; Yea, it is his glory to pass over an offence.
