Proverbs 19:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and he who utters lies will not escape.
⁶ Many seek the favor of a generous man,
    and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
⁷ All a poor man’s brothers hate him;
    how much more do his friends go far from him!
He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^[a]
