4) Wealth attracts many friends,
but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The rich acquire many friends, most not very close.
The poor are too often deserted by friends, even their closest.
Guilty, as charged, but too late to compensate.
It is not too late to repent.

10) The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Christian rests in peace and safety in Jesus.
Even DEATH is a blessing to the Christian.
For to me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:21 (NIV)

3) The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The scriptural meaning of your “heart” is largely your “spirit”.
Jesus consistently evaluates your spirit, and purifies it as needed.
He works, through the Holy Spirit, to safeguard your Narrow Path.
