Proverbs 19:3-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. Their own folly leads people astray;in their hearts they rage against the Lord.

4. Wealth adds many friends,but the poor are left friendless.

5. The false witness will not go unpunished,and whoever utters lies will not escape.

6. Many curry favor with a noble;everybody is a friend of a gift giver.

7. All the kin of the poor despise them;how much more do their friends shun them!

8. Those who gain sense truly love themselves;those who preserve understanding will find success.

9. The false witness will not go unpunished,and whoever utters lies will perish.

10. Luxury is not befitting a fool;much less should a slave rule over princes.

11. It is good sense to be slow to anger,and an honor to overlook an offense.
