Proverbs 19:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Many people want an important person to like them.
    Everyone wants to be the friend of someone who gives lots of gifts.
⁷ If someone is poor, all his family hate him.
    His friends stay away from him.
Even if he goes to ask them for help,
    he cannot find them anywhere.
⁸ If you learn to be wise,
    it shows that you love yourself.
If you understand what is right,
    you will do well.
