Proverbs 19:5-9

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

⁶Many will entreat the favour of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

⁷All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

⁸He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
