Gill's Notes on the Bible

The rich ruleth over the poor,.... Usurps a dominion over them, and exercises it in a rigorous, oppressive, and tyrannical manner; otherwise they are generally the rich that rule, and if they rule well, in a lawful, gentle, and righteous manner, it is commendable;

and the borrower [is] servant to the lender; being under obligation to him, he is forced to be subject to him, and comply with his humours, and do and say as he would have him; it was a happiness promised to the Israelites, that they should lend to many nations, but not borrow,

Deuteronomy 15:6; compare with this Nehemiah 5:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 22:7. The rich ruleth over the poor — So it is in the order of God, and may be a blessing to both.
