PROVERBS 17:5

+3
The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible includes the proverb, "Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker" (
Proverbs 17:5). This means that by mocking someone in poverty, you are essentially insulting God, who is considered the creator of all people. The verse also notes that "he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished," implying a strong divine disapproval of taking pleasure in others' misfortune. 
  • Proverbs 17:5 (KJV): "Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished".
  • Meaning: Mocking a poor person is seen as an insult to God, who created that person. Taking joy in the suffering of others will also bring punishment.
  • Broader context: This verse is part of a larger collection of proverbs in the Bible that emphasizes compassion, wisdom, and respect for all people, regardless of their circumstances. Other versions of this verse, such as Proverbs 14:31 (NIV), say, "He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God," according to World Vision.
Proverbs 17:5-11 New Century Version (NCV) Whoever mistreats the poor insults their Maker; whoever enjoys someone's trouble will be punished. Old people are pro...
