What peace is there between a hyena and a dog? And what peace is there between the rich and the poor?
19
Wild asses in the desert are prey for lions; so the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.
20
The arrogant detest humility; so the rich detest the poor.
21
When rich people stumble, they are supported by friends. But when the humble fall, their own friends push them away.
22
When the rich slip, their helpers are many; they speak things that shouldn't be spoken, and people justify them. The humble slip, and people criticize them as well; they utter something sensible, and no one pays attention.
