Proverbs 17:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ If you laugh at poor people,
    you are insulting God, who made them.
If you are happy when trouble happens to other people,
    you will receive the punishment that you deserve.
⁶ Old people should be proud of their grandchildren.
    In the same way, children should be proud of their parents.
⁷ It does not seem right when a fool says clever things.
    It is certainly not right when a ruler tells lies.
