He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

He who is hard on the poor puts shame on his Maker; but he who has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour.

Ο καταθλιβων τον πενητα ονειδιζει τον Ποιητην αυτου· ο δε τιμων αυτον ελεει τον πτωχον.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
