Verse 5. He that mocketh the poor, reproacheth him that made him: and he that rejoiceth at his adversity, shall not be innocent.
Verse 5. Hee that mocketh the poore, reprocheth him that made him: and he that reioiceth at his aduersitie, shall not be innocent.
HE that mocketh] which offereth despite to, and vilifieth by word, deed, or gesture, whether in the way of jest, or bitter disdain, [the poor] not only them that want wealth, but which are in any affliction, either externally or in their souls, [reproacheth him that made him] doth after a sort scorn and scoff at God, who created the man, and allotted him that estate; as he that laugheth at the work, doth consequently deride the artificer. [and he that rejoiceth at his adversity, shall not be innocent] not only he that showeth apparent contempt of the man afflicted, but which is glad in his heart for his misery and affliction, shall severely be punished.
