Proverbs 19:7

⁵ A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.

⁶ Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.

⁸ He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.

⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
