Proverbs 19:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ A witness who lies will be punished.
    An untruthful person will not be left unpunished.

⁶ Many people want to please a leader.
    And everyone is friends with those who give gifts.

⁷ A poor person’s relatives avoid him.
    Even his friends stay far away!
He runs after them, begging.
    But they are gone.
