Proverbs 19:7

His friends. If a man's own brothers come to hate the sight of the poor man for fear of having demands made upon them, who can blame his friends for forsaking him? The only exception would be the kind of friend that sticks closer than a brother (ch. 18:24).

This is one of the few proverbs containing three parts. Some feel that originally there were probably two of the regular two part proverbs. The LXX has a longer reading, which, though we cannot be certain of its accuracy, hints that probably the original contained more than what is found in the present Masoretic text. The rendering of the LXX for v. 7 is, "Every one who hates his poor brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; and he that uses provoking words shall not escape."
