Proverbs 19:6-7
Many will seek the favor of a generous person, And every person is a friend to him who gives gifts.All the brothers of a poor person hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his estate in wild living.Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began doing without.So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

Job 19:13-17
“ He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances have completely turned away from me.My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me.Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore his favor with my mouth.My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

Job 6:15-23
My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which drain away,Which are darkened because of ice, And into which the snow melts.When they dry up, they vanish; When it is hot, they disappear from their place.The paths of their course wind along, They go up into wasteland and perish.The caravans of Tema looked, The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.They were put to shame, for they had trusted, They came there and were humiliated.Indeed, you have now become such, You see terrors and are afraid.Have I said,‘ Give me something,’ Or,‘ Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’Or,‘ Save me from the hand of the enemy,’ Or,‘ Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
