The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor, But the rich has many friends.

Proverbs 19:6-7
Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.

Luke 15:13-15
And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Proverbs 10:15
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Job 19:13-17
“ He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me.Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants, Count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.I call my servant, but he gives no answer; I beg him with my mouth.My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am repulsive to the children of my own body.

Job 6:15-23
My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.Did I ever say,‘ Bring something to me’? Or,‘ Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?Or,‘ Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’? Or,‘ redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?
