Proverbs 19:6-8
New International Version
7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!(C)
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.[a](D)
8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.(E)
