Proverbs 19:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished.
    He who pours out lies shall not go free.
⁶ Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
    and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
⁷ All the relatives of the poor shun him:
    how much more do his friends avoid him!
    He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
