Proverbi 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.''

Proverbi 19:4 In-Context

2 Come chi è frettoloso di piedi incappa; Così non vi è alcun bene, quando l’anima è senza conoscimento.
3 La stoltizia dell’uomo perverte la via di esso; E pure il suo cuore dispetta contro al Signore.
4 Le ricchezze aggiungono amici in gran numero; Ma il misero è separato dal suo intimo amico.
5 Il falso testimonio non resterà impunito, E chi sbocca menzogne non iscamperà.
6 Molti riveriscono il principe; Ma ognuno è amico del donatore.
