“A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. which: Heb. without food”
Proverbs 28:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 28:3
A poor man who oppresses the poor is like 'a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.' The Hebrew 'geshem sobeph' (driving/sweeping rain) destroys crops rather than nourishing them. When the poor oppress the poor, it's doubly tragic—they should understand suffering but instead inflict it. Reformed theology recognizes that sin transcends economic categories; poverty doesn't ensure virtue. Some of history's cruelest oppressors arose from poverty. This verse condemns all oppression, especially when those who should sympathize based on experience become oppressors.
