A poor person is hated even by his neighbor, but there are many who love the rich.

Many seek a ruler’s favor, and everyone is a friend of one who gives gifts.All the brothers of a poor person hate him; how much more do his friends keep their distance from him! He may pursue them with words, but they are not there.

Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his estate in foolish living.After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he had nothing.Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.My relatives stop coming by, and my close friends have forgotten me.My house guests and female servants regard me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.I call for my servant, but he does not answer, even if I beg him with my own mouth.My breath is offensive to my wife, and my own family finds me repulsive.

My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflowand become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them.The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather.Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish.The caravans of Tema look for these streams. The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water. When they arrive there, they are disappointed.So this is what you have now become to me. When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.Have I ever said,“ Give me something” or“ Pay a bribe for me from your wealth”or“ Deliver me from the enemy’s hand” or“ Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless”?
