(A)All a poor man's brothers hate him;
    (B)how much more do his friends go far from him!
He pursues them with words, but does not have them.[a]
(C)Whoever gets sense loves his own soul;
    he who keeps understanding will (D)discover good.
(E)A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and he who (F)breathes out lies will perish.
