20 The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, but the rich has many friends.
21 Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.
At first verse seems like a warning to the poor not to be too demanding of others. But the second verse gives it some better context. It is more of a condemnation of those who only favor friends can give them something in return. We should care for our neighbor, especially if they are financially needy.
