New Testament

Proverbs 19:3-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. The foolishness of a man twists his way,And his heart frets against the Lord.

4. Wealth makes many friends,But the poor is separated from his friend.

5. A false 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. All the brothers of the poor hate him;How much more do his friends go far from him!He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.

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