Proverbs 19
1.Life and Conduct














Wealth attracts many friends
In ancient Israel, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. The accumulation of wealth could lead to increased social status and influence, drawing many people who sought to benefit from the wealthy individual's resources. This concept is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such asProverbs 14:20, which notes the social dynamics surrounding wealth and poverty. The cultural context of the time placed a high value on hospitality and generosity, which were easier to practice with abundant resources. Wealth could also be seen as a means of securing alliances and friendships, as seen in the relationships between kings and nations in the Old Testament.

but a poor man is deserted by his friend
Poverty in biblical times often led to social isolation and vulnerability. Without resources, a person could not reciprocate favors or provide for others, leading to abandonment by those who were once considered friends. This reflects the harsh realities of a society where survival often depended on mutual support and exchange. The plight of the poor is a recurring theme in Scripture, with God frequently commanding His people to care for the needy and marginalized (Deuteronomy 15:7-11). The contrast between the wealthy and the poor in this proverb highlights the transient nature of human relationships based on material gain. It also foreshadows the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized the value of spiritual wealth over material possessions and called His followers to love and serve the poor (Matthew 6:19-21,Luke 6:20-21).

Teaching Points
The Nature of Worldly Friendships
Worldly friendships can be superficial and often depend on material wealth. True friendship should be based on mutual respect and love, not on what one can gain from the other.

The Illusion of Security in Wealth
Wealth may provide temporary social advantages, but it does not guarantee genuine relationships or eternal security. Believers are encouraged to seek treasures in heaven rather than relying on earthly riches.

Compassion for the Poor
Christians are called to show compassion and support for those in need, reflecting God's love and justice. This includes building relationships with people regardless of their economic status.

Evaluating Our Own Relationships
Reflect on the motivations behind our friendships. Are they based on love and mutual edification, or are they influenced by what we can gain materially or socially?

God's View of Wealth and Poverty
God values the heart and character of a person over their material wealth. Believers should strive to align their values with God's perspective, prioritizing spiritual richness over material wealth.

What wisdom and guidance does Proverbs offer for life?

What does Proverbs say about lazy people?

What is the Bible's view on poverty?

In 2 Corinthians 8:13-14, does Paul's call for economic 'fairness' conflict with other biblical texts that accept wealth disparities or personal ownership?(4)The poor is separated from his neighbour.--Or,but the feeble, his friend separates himself(from him).It was just in order to counteract these selfish instincts of mankind that the merciful provisions of such passages asDeuteronomy 15:7.sqq.,andLuke 14:13, were laid upon God's people.

Verse 4. -Wealth maketh many friends (vers. 6, 7;Proverbs 14:20). A Greek gnome expresses the same truth -

Ἐὰν δ ἔχωμεν χρήμαθ ἕξομεν φίλους.The poor is separated from his neighbour. But it is better to make the act of separation emanate from the friend (as the Hebrew allows), and to render, with the Revised Version,The friend of the poor separateth himself from him. The word for "poor" is heredal, which means "feeble," "languid;" so ver. 17; and the came word (rea), "friend" or "neighbor," is used in both clauses. The idea of man's selfishness is carried on in vers. 6 and 7. The Law of Moses had tried to counteract it (Deuteronomy 15:7, etc.), but it was Christianity that introduced the practical realization of the law of love, and the honouring of the poor as members of Christ. Septuagint, "But the poor is deserted even by his whilom friend."
