Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress. Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.
Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
“If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him
Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him.
I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face.
For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.
