^4 (A)Wealth adds many friends,
But a poor man is separated from his friend.

^6 (A)Many will seek the favor of a noble man,
And everyone is a friend to a man who ^(B)gives gifts.
⁷ All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his ^(C)friends distance themselves from him!
He ^(D)pursues them with words, but they are no more.

² The rich and the poor meet together in this—
Yahweh is the ^(A)Maker of them all.

⁷ The ^(A)rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is the slave of the lender.
