4 1Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.
5 A 2false witness will not go unpunished, And he who 3tells lies will not escape.
6 4Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who 5gives gifts.
7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much * more do his 6friends abandon him! He 7pursues them with words, but they are gone.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will 8find good.
9 A 9false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will perish.
10 Luxury is 10not fitting for a fool; Much * less for a 11slave to rule over princes.
11 A man's 12discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory 13to overlook a transgression.
12 The 14king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like 15dew on the grass.
13 A 16foolish son is destruction to his father, And the 17contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.
14 House and wealth are an 18inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.

This chapter gives an account of the introduction of the ark into the temple, 1Ki 8:1-9 of the glory of the Lord filling it, 1Ki 8:10,11 of a speech Solomon made to the people concerning the building of the temple, and how he came to be engaged in it, 1Ki 8:12-21, of a prayer of his he put up on this occasion, requesting, that what supplications soever were made at any time, or on any account, by Israelites or strangers, might be accepted by the Lord, 1Ki 8:22-53, and of his blessing the people of Israel at the close of it, with some useful exhortations, 1Ki 8:54-61, and of the great number of sacrifices offered up by him, and the feast he made for the people, upon which he dismissed them, 1Ki 8:62-66.
