Proverbs 19:5-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 19

5A false witness will not go unpunished, And one who declares lies will not escape. 6Many will seek the favor of a generous person, And every person is a friend to him who gives gifts. 7All the brothers of a poor person hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone. 8One who gets wisdom loves his own soul; One who keeps understanding will find good. 9A false witness will not go unpunished, And one who declares lies will perish.
King James Version

8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
