Proverbs 19:5
Compare all
3 The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.
4 aWealth makes many friends,
But the poor is separated from his friend. 
5 A afalse witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies will not escape. 
6 Many entreat the favor of the nobility,
And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
7 aAll the brothers of the poor hate him;
How much more do his friends go bfar from him!
He may pursue them with words, yet they1 abandon him. 
8 He who gets1 wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding awill find good. 
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies shall perish.
10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
Much less afor a servant to rule over princes. 
11 aThe discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
bAnd his glory is to overlook a transgression.
