In context

⁶Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.

⁷All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.

⁸He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.

⁹A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.

¹⁰Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
