Proverbs 19:6-8

Amplified Bible

⁶ 
Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man,
And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts.
⁷ 
All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
⁸ 
He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.
