[Debau]

I honestly believe that the poor have been preserved through all generations just like verse 7 says. Our Lord has keep them and served them for generation to generation.

Popish jibberish!

John 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

This verse is a repudiation of the social gospel, not the "preservation"( eternal opression) of the poor. This is what Rome has confused the masses with.
This is why Rome is HAPPY with the NIV and other regurgitated renderings(wresting) of a presrved "proletariat" in Psalm 12:7.

Matthew 5. Read that again.

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

This is a poverty of spirit, not of substance.

You need to read your KJB Bible in a similar manner to grasp these easy truths.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
