The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.
The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:
But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: great and terrible above all them that are about him.
The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.
Thy own friend, and thy father's friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
