19. Wild asses are the prey of lions in the wilderness; So poor men are pasture for the rich.
20. Lowliness is an abomination to a proud man; So a poor man is an abomination to the rich.
21. A rich man when he is shaken is held up of his friends; But one of low degree being down is thrust away also by his friends.
22. When a rich man is fallen, there are many helpers; He speaks things not to be spoken, and men justify him: A man of low degree falls, and men rebuke him withal; He utters wisdom, and no place is allowed him.
