Proverbs 19:7–11 — New International Version (2011) (NIV)
7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,

the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will perish.
10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

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