Proverbs 22:2

Tree of Life Version

Rich and poor have this in common— Adonai is the Maker of them all.

See the chapter Copy

Did not He who made me in the womb, make him? Did not the same one form us in the womb?

Who shows no partiality before princes, and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of His hands.

The one who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.

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

The eye cannot tell the hand, “I don’t need you!” or in turn the head to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

Adonai makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and also lifts up.
