7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
Rejected by family,
Dodged by friends,
The poor struggle alone in their poverty.
6 Many curry favor with a ruler,
and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
PCDC Commentary
Wealth and power attract many friends.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
PCDC Commentary
A liar cannot escape impending punishment.

Proverbs 19:4
Blaming God
Proverbs 19:3
A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,
yet their heart rages against the Lord.
PCdc Commentary
When you point your boney finger at someone,
you point 3 fingers back at yourself.
All of my failures were from my own folly.
You cannot lose when you follow the Lord.
