SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:23
¶ El pobre habla con ruegos; mas el rico responde durezas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. The poor useth entreaties , etc.] Or “supplications” f531 ; he is an humble supplicant to others for favours he asks in a submissive and lowly manner; he does not demand anything, nor prescribe what shall be done for him, but modestly tells his case, and submits it; so such who are poor in spirit are humble supplicants at the throne of grace; but the rich answereth roughly ; being proud and haughty, lifted up with their riches, and in fear of none, they answer others with hard and rough words, especially their inferiors, and particularly the poor. This is not what ought to be, but what commonly is. This verse and ( Proverbs 18:24) are not in the Arabic version.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23 - Poverty tells men they must not order or demand. And at the throne of God's grace we are all poor, and must use entreaties.
