Proverbs 17:5-10

⁵He that mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

⁶Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children is their fathers.

⁷Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

⁸A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

⁹He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

¹⁰A reproof entereth more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.
