Proverbs 19:6-11

⁶Many will intreat the favour of the prince: And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

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

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

¹¹The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
