Proverbs22:7
7 The rich ruleth over the poor , and the borrower is servant to the lender .
To wit, with rigor and Tyranny, taking advantage of his necessities.
Is at his mercy, and therefore forced to comply with his pleasure. The design of the Proverb is partly to correct this miscarriage of the rich, and partly to oblige all men to diligence, whereby they may deliver themselves from this servitude.
Marginal references: Jam. 2. 6.; Heb. to the man that lendeth.
