Why is a poor man mentioned in this context? He is making the point that even the righteous who are good examples to others must suffer under the same curse. He chose the righteous poor man because extreme wealth caused others to think that the wealthy person had exploited others. The poor man who lived a good life also gave the impression of innocence. Yet wisdom and innocence, despite their obvious benefits, will not save one from the grave.
