And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.

The rich and poor have a common bond;
The Lord is the Maker of them all.

“If I have despised and rejected the claim of my male or female servants
When they filed a complaint against me,

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’

He who despises his neighbor sins [against God and his fellow man],
But happy [blessed and favored by God] is he who is gracious and merciful to the poor.
