Proverbs 19:7


← Proverbs 19:6 Proverbs 19:7 (KJV) Proverbs 19:8 →
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
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.
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
