4Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
5A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.
6Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
7All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words — they are not!
8Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.
9A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.
