6 Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts. 7 All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words—they are not!
We are without excuse if we do not love God with all our hearts. His gifts to us are past number, and all the gifts of men to us are fruits of his bounty.
Christ was left by all his disciples; but the Father was with him. It encourages our faith that he had so large an experience of the sorrows of poverty.
