Proverbs 14:20
The poor is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
-
Proverbs 19:6-7
Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.

Luke 15:13-15
And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Proverbs 10:15
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Job 19:13-17
He hath put my brethren far from me, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.My kinsfolk have failed, And my familiar friends have forgotten me.They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth.My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.

Job 6:15-23
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid.Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
