All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 19:7 Go To Proverbs 19
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Only. Hebrew has lo, and the margin lu, with the Vulgate. (Calmet)
The former word intimates that the words have no solidity, and the latter that they shall be his only portion who is so foolish as to trust in them. Sequens dicta non ispa; (Montanus) or ei ipsa, if we follow the margin. (Haydock)
