Proverbs 22:16

Laws that give tax breaks to the wealthy and withhold basic needs to the poor bankrupts our nation of its’ Christian values.


The last of the proverbs of Solomon in this collection deals with social justice. Ultimately, all human affairs are in God’s hands, even though at times the wicked prosper. God made both the poor and the rich and He will justly determine their destinies.

22:16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,

And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.
