Midrash sobre Proverbios 19:7

The poor are the people of the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is said: For the Lord hath comforted His people, and hath compassion upon His afflicted (Isa. 49:13). The ways of the Holy One, blessed be He, are not like those of man. The rich man despises his poor relations and is not concerned about them, as it is said: All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him (Prov. 19:7). However, the Holy One, blessed be He, who owns the source of all wealth and honor, provides for and is merciful to the poor, as it is said: That the Lord hath founded Zion, and in her shall the poor of His people take refuge (Isa. 14:32).
