In Jewish tradition

It means a humble plea. In Proverbs the poor must beg while the rich can answer harshly.

Interpretation. The proverb is read as a social warning, since the wealthy often speak roughly, and Jewish law tells people to be kind to the poor.

Examples

The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently. (Writings PRO.18.23, JPS 1917) tree →
