The rich ruleth over the poor
Usurps a dominion over them, and exercises it in a rigorous,
oppressive, and tyrannical manner; otherwise they are generally
the rich that rule, and if they rule well, in a lawful, gentle,
and righteous manner, it is commendable; and the borrower
[is] servant to the lender;
being under obligation to him, he is forced to be subject to him,
and comply with his humours, and do and say as he would have him;
it was a happiness promised to the Israelites, that they should
lend to many nations, but not borrow, ( Deuteronomy
15:6 ) ; compare with this ( Nehemiah 5:4
Nehemiah
5:5 ) .
