Mishle 19:4-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. Wealth maketh many friends, but the dal (poor) is separated from his re'a (neighbor).

5. An ed shekarim (false witness) shall not go unpunished, and he that speaketh kezavim (lies) shall not escape.

6. Rabbim (many) will entreat the favor of the ruler, and every ish is the re'a (friend) to him that giveth mattan (gifts).

7. All the kin of the rahsh (pauper) do hate him; how much more does his friend avoid him? He pursueth them with words, yet they are not there.

8. He that getteth lev [of understanding] loveth his own nefesh; he that is shomer over tevunah (understanding) shall find tov.
