⁴Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

²²The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

¹³Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

¹³Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

²The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

⁹He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

²¹For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

⁶Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁸He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

¹¹The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

¹⁹He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

¹⁴The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

⁶Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

¹³Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

⁸For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

¹⁵Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

¹⁶Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

¹⁶He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁴²For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

¹¹For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

⁷For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

³²For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²¹And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
