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...

God is with me right now

Good Morning and God Bless You 🙌 🙏  I want you to know that I still need your prayers 🙏  I know that My God is a God of Love and Peace.  I have given myself Life to Jesus Christ.   I know that I am still under a lot of pressure from someone who wants to replace me as a person.   This person is a Caucasian man, who  does not like African American People.  My neighbors are a well diverse group of people who used to live in the Southern United States.  My neighbors have access to my Social Media Account and my entire life is at great risk.  This is not a laughing matter because identity theft and fraud happens to all of us.  I know that My neighbors do not like me because my skin color is different from them.  This is a person who has been computer hacking me for only a short period of time.  I am asking all of you to please be careful when it comes to using any accounts.   God is with me right now.  Go...

EXPECTATIONS & HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Expectations & Human Relationships This is a report concerning the expectations when it pertains to human relationships. First, we must ask ourselves a question. What are expectations when it pertains to human relationships? Human Relationships consists of communication both direct and indirect. This means nonverbal and verbal communication as well as association. When we are in close contact with each other, we are learning what the other person is like. We are learning their habits, personality, as well as the way they conduct themselves around others. It does not matter whether these people are in our family or on the street. The best ways to communicate with anyone is by introducing yourself to another person and see what kind of response you will receive. Second, another way of communicating to others is by letter or online. Although this is classified as maintaining a false relationship or a pen-pal, but sometimes this leads into a relationship that is direct eventually, if t...

IS IT TRUE THAT GOD KNOWS EXACTLY HOW LONG WE ARE GOING TO LIVE?

Is it true that God knows exactly where we are at all times?  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins 11/19/2021        I have a very important question to ask everyone.  Is it true that God knows exactly where we are at all times?  The answer to this question is yes.  God knows exactly where we are at all times.  Where exactly shall I go from His Spirit?  The answer is no where because He is inside of us.  His Spirit bears with our spirit.  Where shall I go from His presence?  The answer is nowhere.  He is with us at all times.  If I ascend into heaven He is there.  If I make my bed into hell, He is there with us.        If you want me to be perfectly honest with all of you, we cannot hide from God.  He is watching all of us.  I want to inform all of you that I am asking this question because I would like for anyone to answer this question.  I know that everything th...
