John Trapp on Proverbs 29:13

Verſ. 13. The poor and the uſurer meet together] That is, the poor and the rich, as chap. 22.2. becauſe commonly Uſurers are rich men, and many rich men uſurers. The Lord lighteneth both their eyes, That is, hee gives them the light of life, Joh. 1.8. and the comforts of life, Matth. 5.45. ſo that their eyes are lightned, as Jonathans were after he had taſted of the wild hony, 1 Sam. 14. Others read it thus: The poor and the deceived (or cruſhed by the uſurer) meet together, that is, condole, or comfort one another: becauſe they are both in the dark, as it were of poverty and miſery, they can do one another but little help, more than by commending their caſes to God; who thereupon enlightneth them both: that is, either he ſupplies their wants, and ſo their eyes are opened, as Jonathans were: or elſe gives them patience, as he did thoſe beleeving Hebrews, chap. 10.32. But call to remembrance the former days in the which after yee were illuminated (viz. to ſee the glory that ſhall be revealed, whereof all the ſufferings of this life are not worthy, Rom. 8.18.) Ye endured a great fight of affliction. If we read it, The poor and the uſurer meet together: the Lord enlightneth both their eyes, underſtand it thus; The poor man he enlightneth by patience, the uſurer by repentance, and grace to break, off his ſinnes by righteouſneſs, and his iniquity by ſhewing mercy to the poor as Zacheus, Matthew, and thoſe uſurious Jews did, Neh. 5.
