Proverbs 19:4 Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor. When I see leaves drop from their trees in the beginning of autumn, just such, think I, is the friendship of the world; just such are the comforts and joys of this life. While the sap of maintenance lasts my friends will swarm in abundance, my joys and comforts will abide with me; but when the sap ceases, the spring which supplies them fails; in the winter of my need they leave me naked. (H. G. Salter.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.WEB: Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend. |
