Proverbs 19:6-8
New International Version - UK

6 Many curry favour with a ruler,
    and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives –
    how much more do their friends avoid them!
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
    they are nowhere to be found.[a]

8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;
    the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
