Proverbs 19:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.

⁷ The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.

⁸ But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
