the Needy » Despised
So I concluded that wisdom [is] better than might, yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.
But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts?
The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, but the lovers of the rich are many.
All the brothers of the poor, [if] they hate him, how much more will his friends keep away from him. He pursues [them with] words, [and] they are gone.
