Proverbs 19:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and a liar will not escape.(A)
6 Many seek the favor of the generous,
and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.(B)
7 If the poor are hated even by their kin,
how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there.[a](C)
