Proverbs 17:5

English Standard Version

5 Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished. (Job 31:29; Pr 14:31; Pr 16:5; Pr 24:17; Ob 1:12; Mt 25:40; Mt 25:45) 

New International Version

5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. 

New International Reader’s Version

5 Anyone who laughs at those who are poor makes fun of their Maker. Anyone who is happy when others suffer will be punished. 

King James Version

5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
