Good News Translation
When someone rich makes a mistake, there are many people to cover up for him and explain away all the things he never should have said. But let someone poor make a mistake, and he gets nothing but criticism. Even if what he says makes good sense, nobody will listen.

New Revised Standard Version
If the rich person slips, many come to the rescue; he speaks unseemly words, but they justify him. If the humble person slips, they even criticize him; he talks sense, but is not given a hearing.

Contemporary English Version
When the rich are in trouble, many will offer to help and will even make excuses when the rich insult them. But let the poor get in trouble, and all they get is criticism, even if they speak wisely.

New American Bible
When the rich speak they have many supporters; though what they say is repugnant, it wins approval. When the poor speak people say, “Come, come, speak up!” though they are talking sense, they get no hearing.

Douay-Rheims Bible
