Proverbs 19:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ Many seek the favour of the generous,
    and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
⁷ If the poor are hated even by their kin,
    how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there.^[a]
8 To get wisdom is to love oneself;
    to keep understanding is to prosper.
