He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
NIV
Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, yet He gives His undeserved favor to the low [in rank], the humble, and the afflicted. [James 4:6; I Pet. 5:5.]AMP
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
KJV
