Proverbs 19:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴Wealthy people are always finding more friends.
But the poor lose their friends.

⁵A witness who lies will be punished.
An untruthful person will not be left unpunished.

⁶Many people want to please a leader.
And everyone is friends with those who give gifts.
