Proverbs 22:16

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain, And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want.

Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.

Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

One who oppresses the poor to make more for himself, Or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty.

Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
