Proverbs 18:23
Berean Standard Bible
The poor man pleads for mercy, but the rich man answers harshly.
Context
21Life and death are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit. 22He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD. 23The poor man pleads for mercy,
but the rich man answers harshly. 24A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
