Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 13:7

7. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing , there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great Riches .

Some men who have little or nothing pretend to have great Riches, and carry themselves accordingly, either out of Pride and Vanity, or with a design to gain Reputation with others whom they intend to defraud.

Some rich men seem and profess themselves to be very poor that they may preserve and increase their estates by concealing them from those who would either desire a share in them, or take them away by deceit or violence.
