Proverbs 22:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

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 them? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

who shows no partiality to nobles, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him.

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 again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low; he also exalts.
