2The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 22:2
A Good Name, Humility, Training, Justice for the Poor, and the Words of the Wise
The chapter moves from reputation and humility, to training and generosity, to discipline and oppression, then into a formal instruction section that calls the learner to receive the words of the wise, protect the poor, avoid anger-shaped companionship, reject rash financial pledges, honor inherited boundaries, and pursue skilled work.
