proverbs

some proverbs that jumped out at me concerning the poor, from chapters 13 and 14.

"The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, but the poor man hears no threat."

"The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food, but it is swept away through injustice."

"Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor."

"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker,but he who is generous to the needy honors him."
