Proverbs 22:2

Contemporary English Version 1995

The rich and the poor are all created by the Lord.

See the chapter Copy

After all, God is the one who gave life to each of us before we were born.

If you mistreat the poor, you insult your Creator; if you are kind to them, you show him respect.

Our Lord, you are the one who makes us rich or poor. You put some in high positions and bring disgrace on others.

The poor and all who abuse them must each depend on God for light.

And God created us all; he has no favorites, whether rich or poor.

That's why the eyes cannot say they don't need the hands. That's also why the head cannot say it doesn't need the feet.
