What does the Bible say about mocking the poor?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that mocking the poor reproaches their Maker, indicating a serious spiritual consequence.

Proverbs 17:5 states, 'Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his maker.' This reflects God's view on how we treat the vulnerable among us. When we belittle or mock those in need, we not only disrespect them but also scorn God, who has created all people in His image. The warning continues by stating that 'he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.' This underscores the gravity of rejoicing over others' misfortunes, emphasizing that such attitudes lead to divine judgment.
