The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all.
Ver. 2. The rich and the poor meet together.] They have mutual need one of another, and meet many times, as it were, in the midway, by an alteration of their condition. "They that were full were hired forth for bread, and the hungry are no more hired." 1Sa 2:5 "The mighty are put down from their seats, and those of low degree are exalted." Luk 1:53
The Lord is the maker of them all.] The maker of the men, the maker of their estates, and the maker of that change and alteration which often happeneth, that the one might become grateful, the other humble. See Job 31:15 .
