oppresses poor to,enrich to=him/it gives to,rich

One who oppresses, a lowly one, himself, one who gives, and a rich one refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural phrases. Alternate translation: “Any person who oppresses any lowly person to increase for himself, any person who gives to any rich person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

See how you translated the same use of lowly in [10:15](../10/15.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נֹתֵ֥ן לְ֝⁠עָשִׁ֗יר

gives to,rich

This phrase refers to someone who does a different activity than the person described in the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly, as in the UST.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

נֹתֵ֥ן לְ֝⁠עָשִׁ֗יר

Solomon is leaving out some words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context and previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “one who gives gifts to a rich one to increase wealth”
