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.

For to me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain.
