Proverbs 19:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and a liar will not escape.
6 Many seek the favor of the generous,
    and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
7 If the poor are hated even by their kin,
    how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there.[a]
