Proverbs 17:5-8

⁵Whoso 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 are 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.
