He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.
Context
3Kalibu ni kwa ajili ya fedha na tanuru ni kwa ajili ya dhahabu,
bali Bwana huujaribu moyo. 4Mtu mwovu husikiliza midomo mibaya;
mwongo husikiliza kwa makini ulimi wa madhara. 5Yeye anaye mdhihaki maskini huonyesha dharau kwa Muumba wake;
yeyote afurahiaye maafa hataepuka kuadhibiwa. 6Wana wa wana ni taji la wazee,
nao wazazi ni fahari ya watoto wao. 7Midomo yenye uwezo wa ushawishi haimfai mpumbavu:
je, ni mibaya kiasi gani zaidi midomo ya uongo kwa mtawala!
