Proverbs 19:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ A witness to lies will not go unpunished;
    the teller of falsehoods will not escape.

⁶ Many curry favor of an official;
    everyone is a friend of the gift giver.

⁷ All the relatives of a poor person shun him—
    how much more do his friends avoid him!
Though he runs after them pleading,
    they aren’t around.
