Proverbs 19:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ A witness of falsehood will not go unpunished,
    and he who breathes lies will not escape.
⁶ Many will seek favor before the generous,
    and everyone is the friend of a man of gifts.^[a]
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.^[b]
