PROVERBS 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23
1A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold.
2The rich and the poor have this in common:
the LORD is the maker of them all.
8Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
and the rod of anger will fail.
9Those who are generous are blessed,
for they share their bread with the poor.
22Do not rob the poor because they are poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate;
23for the LORD pleads their cause
and despoils of life those who despoil them.
Are the poor living examples of God's judgment?
Who are the rich? People, nations, communities, faithful?
Do the rich live under the threat of punishment by loss?
