SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:4
¶ Las riquezas allegan muchos amigos; mas el pobre, de su amigo es apartado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:4
Verse 4. The poor is separated from his neighbour. ] Because he has the "disease of all-shunned poverty."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. Wealth maketh many friends , etc.] Or “adds” f536 ; it increases the number of them: so the poet f537 , “donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos”; and to this agrees what the wise man says, ( Proverbs 14:20); but the poor is separated from his neighbour ; or “friend” f538 ; he will not visit him as he did in his prosperity, nor suffer him to come into his house or company, or come near him; he is separated from his affection, friendship, and presence: so another poet f539 , “if thou art rich, thou wilt have many friends; but, if poor, few.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4 - Here we may see how strong is men's love of money.
