Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
El que cierra sus oídos al clamor del pobre, también él clamará y no será oído.
Quien ignora las necesidades de los pobres, también será ignorado cuando necesite ayuda.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, during the time of King Solomon, Proverbs was written as a collection of wise sayings to guide people in living morally and practically in a society that emphasized justice and community welfare. The cultural context included strict biblical laws, such as those in the Torah, that commanded care for the poor and warned against exploitation, reflecting God's concern for the vulnerable. This verse serves as a timeless proverb illustrating the principle of divine reciprocity, where indifference to others' suffering invites similar treatment from God.
