6 Many seek the favor of the generous, and everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
|
6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of a man who gives gifts.

7 If the poor are hated even by their kin, how much more are they shunned by their friends! When they call after them, they are not there.
|
7 A poor man is shunned by all his relatives-- how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he pursues them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.
