Proverbs 14:20
The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, but the rich has many friends.
-
Proverbs 19:6-7
Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.All a poor man’s brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.

Luke 15:13-15
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

Proverbs 10:15
A rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
-
Job 19:13-17
“ He has put my brothers far from me, and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.My relatives have failed me, my close friends have forgotten me.The guests in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes.I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.My breath is strange to my wife, and I am a stench to the children of my own mother.

Job 6:15-23
My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed.For you have now become nothing; you see my calamity and are afraid.Have I said,‘ Make me a gift’? Or,‘ From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?Or,‘ Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? Or,‘ Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless’?
