23 In the desert, the wild donkey is the prey of the lion. So also are the poor the pasture of the rich.
24 And just as humility is an abomination to the arrogant, so also does the rich man abhor the poor man.
25 When a wealthy man has been shaken, he is strengthened by his friends. But when a lowly man has fallen, he is expelled even by those who know him well.
26 When a rich man has been deceived, many will help him recover; he has spoken arrogantly, and yet they justify him.
27 When a poor man has been deceived, in addition he is rebuked; he has spoken with understanding, and no place is given to him.
