⁵Whoever mocks poor people insults their Creator;
gloating over misfortune is a punishable crime.

Proverbs 17:5

New International Version

⁵Whoever mocks the poor^(A) shows contempt for their Maker;^(B)
whoever gloats over disaster^(C) will not go unpunished.^(D)

^17-18Don’t laugh when your enemy falls;
don’t gloat over his collapse.
God might see, and become very provoked,
and then take pity on his plight.

when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,^(B)
