Provérbios 19:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 19:4

Wealth maketh many friends
Or "adds" F6; it increases the number of them: so the poet F7, "donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos"; and to this agrees what the wise man says, ( Proverbs 14:20 ) ; but the poor is separated from his neighbour;
or "friend" F8; he will not visit him as he did in his prosperity, nor suffer him to come into his house or company, or come near him; he is separated from his affection, friendship, and presence: so another poet F9,

``if thou art rich, thou wilt have many friends; but, if poor, few.''

Provérbios 19:4 In-Context

2 Não é bom agir sem refletir; e o que se apressa com seus pés erra o caminho.
3 A estultícia do homem perverte o seu caminho, e o seu coração se irrita contra o Senhor.
4 As riquezas granjeiam muitos amigos; mas do pobre o seu próprio amigo se separa.
5 A testemunha falsa não ficará impune; e o que profere mentiras não escapará.
6 Muitos procurarão o favor do liberal; e cada um é amigo daquele que dá presentes.
