Proverbs 19:8

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

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 gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.
⁹
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes lies will perish.
