Proverbs 17:5
Berean Standard Bible
He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.
Context
3A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold,
but the LORD is the tester of hearts. 4A wicked man listens to evil lips;
a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue. 5He who mocks the poor insults their Maker;
whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished. 6Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of a son is his father. 7Eloquent words are unfit for a fool;
how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!
