📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, during the time of King Solomon and the broader wisdom tradition, proverbs were collected as practical teachings to help people live wisely and justly in a society marked by economic disparities. This verse specifically warns against exploiting the poor for personal gain or currying favor with the wealthy, reflecting the cultural emphasis on God's laws that protected the vulnerable and promoted fairness. It draws from the broader biblical narrative where oppression of the marginalized was consistently condemned as contrary to divine justice.
