Proverbs 22:2

Modern English Version

The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the Maker of them all.

See the chapter Copy

Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

Yet He is not partial to princes, nor does He regard the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of His hands.

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him is kind to the poor.

The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.
