Proverbs 19:6-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. Many will seek favor before the generous, and everyone is the friend of a man of gifts.

7. All the brothers of the poor, if they hate him, how much more will his friends keep away from him. He pursues them with words, and they are gone.

8. He who acquires wisdom loves himself; he who guards understanding loves to find good.

9. A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes lies will perish.
