Proverbs 19:4
_ _ Here, 1. We may see how strong men's love of money is, that they will love any man, how undeserving soever he be otherwise, if he has but a deal of money and is free with it, so that they may hope to be the better for it. Wealth enables a man to send many presents, make many entertainments, and do many good offices, and so gains him many friends, who pretend to love him, for they flatter him and make their court to him, but really love what he has, or rather love themselves, hoping to get by him. 2. We may see how weak men's love of one another is. He who, while he prospered, was beloved and respected, if he fall into poverty is separated from his neighbour, is not owned nor looked upon, not visited nor regarded, is bidden to keep his distance and told he is troublesome. Even one that has been his neighbour and acquaintance will turn his face from him and pass by on the other side. Because men's consciences tell them they ought to relieve and succour such, they are willing to have this excuse, that they did not see them. |
- maketh:
Proverbs 19:6-7 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: 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, [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
Proverbs 14:20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich [hath] many friends.
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 wasted his substance with riotous living. ... And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

- the poor:
Proverbs 10:15 The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.
Job 6:15-23 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away; ... Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Job 19:13-17 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. ... My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's [sake] of mine own body.
