Proverbs 19:8

⁶  Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

⁷  All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

⁸  He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁹  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

¹⁰  Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
