Proverbs 19:3-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the Lord.

4. Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.

5. A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.

6. Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7. All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
