Ubogi i lichwiarz różni są, a Pan oświeca oczy obudwu.
Ubogi i zdzierca spotkali się; a wszakże obydwóch oczy Pan oświeca.
Biedny i wyzyskiwacz się stykają; oczy obydwu oświeca WIEKUISTY.
Ubogi i zdzierca spotkali się; a wszakże obydwóch oczy Pan oświeca.
Ubogi i zdzierca spotykają się, a PAN obu oświeca oczy.
Gdy biedny spotyka się ze zdziercą, Pan obdarza światłem oczy obydwu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The poor and the deceitful man meet together,.... Or "the usurer" q; who by usury, by fraud and deception, is possessed of the mammon of unrighteousness, and is become rich; he and the poor man meet together; and so the sense is the same as in Proverbs 22:2;
Proverbs 22:2- :;
the Lord lighteneth both their eyes; with the light of natural life, and with the light of natural reason, John 1:4; and so is the same as being "the Maker of them all", in the above place; or he bestows his providential favours on both; causes his sun to shine upon the rich and poor, the wicked and the righteous, Matthew 5:45. Or it may be understood of the light of grace; for though, for the most part, God chooses and calls the poor of the world, and lightens their eyes with the light of his grace, when not many wise and noble are called and enlightened; yet this is not restrained wholly to men of one and the same condition of life; yea, God sometimes calls and enlightens publicans, tax gatherers, and extortioners, as Matthew and Zacchaeus.
q ××ש ת×××× "vir usurarum", Mercerus; "foenerator", Piscator, Tigurine version; "usurarius", Munster.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Better, The poor and the oppressor. âUsurer,â as in the margin expresses the special form of oppression from which the poor suffer most at the hands of the rich. God has made them both and bestows His light equally on both.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 29:13. The poor and the deceitful man — It is difficult to fix the meaning of ת×××× techachim, which we here render the deceitful man. The TARGUM has, "The poor and the man of LITTLE WEALTH." The SEPTUAGINT, "The usurer and the DEBTOR." The VULGATE, "The poor and CREDITOR." COVERDALE, "The poor and the LENDER." OTHERS, "The poor and the RICH;" "The poor and the OPPRESSORS." I suppose the meaning may be the same as in Proverbs 22:2: "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the Maker of them all." Where see the note.
