Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 19:22: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

תַּאֲוַ֣ת אָדָ֣ם חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְטֽוֹב־רָ֝שׁ מֵאִ֥ישׁ כָּזָֽב׃

C’est un désir chez l’homme d’être bon; mieux vaut être pauvre que menteur.

Rashi on Proverbs

The attraction to a man is his kindness The main reason why people are attracted to a person is because of his kindness.

Rashi on Proverbs

and a poor man is better than a liar And if he is a liar, who promises but does not perform, a poor man is better than he.
