| New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 7 A poor person is avoided by his whole family. His friends avoid him even more. The poor person runs after them to beg. But he can't find them. | 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. |
