Proverbs 19:6 Context
4Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour. 5A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape. 6Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts. 7All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 8He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good.
