Commentary on Proverbs 22:2
Rich and poor have commonality: 'the LORD is the maker of them all.' Despite economic disparities, all humans share equal status as God's creatures. The Hebrew 'asah' (maker/Creator) emphasizes God's sovereignty over all. This grounds human dignity and equality in creation, not in wealth or status. Reformed theology's doctrine of imago Dei insists that all people, regardless of economic position, bear God's image and deserve respect. This verse rebukes both pride in the wealthy and despair in the poor, and condemns economic oppression.
