Proverbs 19:6-7

New International Version

⁶ Many curry favor with a ruler,^(A)
    and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.^(B)

⁷ The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
    how much more do their friends avoid them!^(C)
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
    they are nowhere to be found.^[a](D)
