Proverbs 19:8 WEB

⁶  Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

⁷  All the relatives of the poor shun him: How much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

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

⁹  A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

¹⁰  Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
