Proverbs 19:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 19:6

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.
