Proverbs 19:4

International Standard Version

⁴Wealth brings many friends,
but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

Proverbs 19:4

Lexham English Bible

⁴Wealth adds many friends,
but the poor will be left by his friends.

⁶Many curry favor of an official;
everyone is a friend of the gift giver.

⁶Many will seek favor before the generous,
and everyone is the friend of a man of gifts.^[a]

¹⁷Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord—
the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance.

¹⁷He who lends to Yahweh is he who is kind to the poor,
and his benefits he will repay to him.
