Proverbs 19:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Many people want to please a leader.
    And everyone is friends with those who give gifts.

⁷ A poor person’s relatives avoid him.
    Even his friends stay far away!
He runs after them, begging.
    But they are gone.

⁸ The person who gets wisdom is good to himself.
    And the one who has understanding will succeed.
