v. 7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him, his own relatives treating him with an utter want of charity; how much more do his friends go far from him! for his acquaintances are not even bound by the ties of relationship and therefore withdraw with less compunction. He pursueth them with words, eager to hear at least some words of encouragement and friendly interest, yet they are wanting to him, that is, no one cheers him with words of kindness; even so much is denied him.
