⁴ Wealth adds many friends,
    but the poor is separated from his friend.

⁶ Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
    and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
⁷ All the relatives of the poor shun him:
    how much more do his friends avoid him!
    He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

² The rich and the poor have this in common:
    Yahweh is the maker of them all.

⁷ The rich rule over the poor.
    The borrower is servant to the lender.

⁴ Don’t weary yourself to be rich.
    In your wisdom, show restraint.
⁵ Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
    For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
