Proverbs 19:2-9 American Standard Version (ASV)

2. Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3. The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.

4. Wealth addeth many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend.

5. A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

6. Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.

8. He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

9. A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish.
