Proverbs 22:2

Legacy Standard Bible

The rich and the poor meet together in this— Yahweh is the Maker of them all.

See the chapter Copy

“Did not He who made me in the womb make him, And the same one fashion us in the womb?

Who shows no partiality to princes Nor recognizes the rich above the poor, For they all are the work of His hands?

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

The poor man and the oppressor meet together in this— Yahweh gives light to the eyes of both.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

“Yahweh makes poor and rich; He brings low; He also exalts.
