“All 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.”
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—this verse portrays the isolation of poverty with unflinching realism, exposing social indifference as a structural sin.
