Oppressing the poor

Oppressing the poor

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want (Proverbs 22:16).

An employer should not oppress the poor workers to earn undue profits. A person who employs a servant should pay due wages to the latter. Such people would always be in want ultimately and the money earned by them by depriving the poor of their money will never last. Similarly, the one who gives to the rich and not to the poor will also be in want even if the rich repays the giver.
