Proverbs 19:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ A false witness will not go unpunished.
He breathes lies and will not escape.
⁶ Many seek the goodwill of a ruler,
and everyone is a friend to a person who gives gifts.
⁷ A poor person’s brothers all hate him.
Even his friends keep their distance from him!
Though he pursues them with words, they are not there.
