Proverbs 19:4

Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.

The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.

My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;

"He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
