Proverbs 19:3-7

3A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the LORD .

4Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.

5A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.

6Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

7The poor are shunned by all their relatives— how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found. The meaning of the Hebrew for this sentence is uncertain.
