7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him—how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 19:7
Integrity, Counsel, Discipline, Poverty, Anger, and the Fear of the LORD
The chapter moves from integrity and misdirected zeal, to wealth and false witness, to wisdom and household prudence, to laziness, commandments, mercy, and discipline, and finally to the LORD's prevailing purpose, fear of the LORD, sloth, instruction, corrupt witness, and judgment.
