Proverbs 19:5-7
The Message

5 Perjury won’t go unpunished.
    Would you let a liar go free?

6 Lots of people flock around a generous person;
    everyone’s a friend to the philanthropist.

7 When you’re down on your luck, even your family avoids you—
    yes, even your best friends wish you’d get lost.
If they see you coming, they look the other way—
    out of sight, out of mind.

New International Version

5 A false witness(A) will not go unpunished,(B)
    and whoever pours out lies will not go free.(C)

6 Many curry favor with a ruler,(D)
    and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.(E)

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