Proverbs 19:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ Many seek the favor of a generous man,
    and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
⁷ All a poor man’s brothers hate him;
    how much more do his friends go far from him!
He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^[a]
8 He who gets wisdom loves himself;
    he who keeps understanding will prosper.
