Proverbs 22:2

New International Version

Rich and 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 them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?

Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

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

who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
