The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
In context
5Thorns and snares lie on the way of the crooked; whoever guards his life stays far from them. 6Train a boy in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not turn from it. 7The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender. 8Whoever sows injustice reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will fail. 9The generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
