Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 22:2

"The rich and the poor meet together: Jehovah is the maker of them all." — Proverbs 22:2 (ASV)

The rich and poor meet together.— Are thrown together in the world in order to aid each other in the path through life, remembering that they are brethren, sons of one Father. (Compare to 1 Corinthians 12:27.)
