Proverbs 19:8 in context

1. 6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
   and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
2. 7All the relatives of the poor shun him:
   how much more do his friends avoid him!
   He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
3. 8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
   He who keeps understanding shall find good.
4. 9A false witness shall not be unpunished.
   He who utters lies shall perish.
5. 10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
   much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
