Proverbs 22:2 Context
1A Good name is rather to be chosen then great riches, and louing fauour rather then siluer & golde. 2The rich and poore meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all. 3A prudent man foreseeth the euill, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished. 4By humilitie and the feare of the Lord, are riches, and honour, and life.

Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 22:2
22:2 Meet - They live together, and need one another. The maker - Not only as they are men, but as they are poor or rich, which difference comes from God's providence. They have one common creator, and Lord, and judge, and the one cannot despise nor grudge at the other without reflecting upon God.
