Proverbs 22:2

The Scriptures 1998

The rich and the poor meet together – יהוה is the Maker of them all.

See the chapter Copy

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

who is not partial to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? For they are all the work of His hands.

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who esteems Him shows favour to the needy.

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

And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

“יהוה makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and lifts up.
