| New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 Anyone who laughs at those who are poor makes fun of their Maker. Anyone who is happy when others suffer will be punished. | 5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. |
