Amsal 14:20

14:20 A poor person is disliked ¹  even by his neighbors,

but those who love the rich are many.

[14:20]  ¹ tn Heb “hated.” The verse is just a statement of fact. The verbs “love” and “hate” must be seen in their connotations: The poor are rejected, avoided, shunned – that is, hated; but the rich are sought after, favored, embraced – that is, loved.
