King James Bible - Proverbs 14:31

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.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:31

¶ El que oprime al pobre, afrenta a su Hacedor; mas el que tiene misericordia del pobre, lo honra.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:31

Verse 31. He that oppresseth the
poor reproacheth his Maker ] Because the poor, or comparatively poor, are, in the order of God, a part of the inhabitants of the earth; and every man who loves God will show mercy to the poor, for with this God is peculiarly delighted. The poor have we ever with us, for the excitement and exercise of those benevolent, compassionate, and merciful feelings, without which men had been but little better than brutes.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. He that oppresseth the
poor reproacheth his Maker , etc.] That does him any injury, either by scoffing at him, and reproaching him for his poverty; or by vexatious law suits; or by withholding from him his wages; or not giving him that relief which he ought: such an one not only injures the poor man; but reproaches God that made him, not only a man, but a poor man; and who is the Maker of the rich man also, ( Proverbs 22:2); but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor ; he that is desirous of honouring God, and glorifying him, will give of his substance to the poor; having compassion on him in his necessitous circumstances, will relieve him; and in so doing he honours God, whose image the poor man bears, and who has commanded him so to do. The words may be rendered, “he that hath mercy on the poor honoureth him”; that is, his Maker: so the Targum, “he that hath mercy on him that suffers injury honoureth him.”

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 31 - To
oppress the poor is to reproach our Creator.
