Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.
