Proverbs 19:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ If you tell lies in court, the judge will certainly punish you.
    You will not go free!
⁶ Many people want an important person to like them.
    Everyone wants to be the friend of someone who gives lots of gifts.
⁷ If someone is poor, all his family hate him.
    His friends stay away from him.
Even if he goes to ask them for help,
    he cannot find them anywhere.
