Augustine of Hippo, on Prov 22:2
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Prov 22:2 · Douay-Rheims
“The rich and poor have met one another: the Lord is the maker of them both.”
On this verse:
“The rich and the poor meet together. In what way, except in this present life? The rich and the poor are born alike. You meet one another as you walk along the way together. The poor must not defraud the rich; the rich must not oppress the poor. The one has need, the other has plenty, but "the Lord is the maker of them both." The Lord helps the one in need by the one who has; by the one who has not the Lord tests the one who has.”
