The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.
Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One shape us in the womb?
How much less to Him who does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor? For all of them are the work of His hands.
He who presses the poor curses his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy upon the poor.
The poor and the deceitful man meet together; Jehovah gives light to the eyes of both.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Jehovah takes away, and He gives riches; He brings low; yea, He lifts up high.
