Proverbs 19:4

4 Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.

Proverbs 19:6-7

6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives— how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.
