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...

Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?        I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself.               Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wre...

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...

God is Watching All of US

    God is watching all of us!!   I know for myself that God has been watching me because He is solely responsible for waking me up this morning.  He watches me because I know that I am not able to get away with anything that I am doing wrong throughout my entire 60 years of existence. Next, I want to inform everyone that I have been a Born Again Christian for 10 years now.  I will admit that I have had my moments when I have acted out by using words that does not make sense.  Lord God, I am asking You; to please forgive me of all of my sins both past and present.  This also includes any sins that I am thinking about inside of my mind, as well as any besetting sins that I have presently. Good Afternoon Lord Jesus!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform you that I am only a Work in Progress.  The reason why I am saying this is simply because I am not perfect.  I am asking you to please bridle my tongue; so t...
