Proverbs 17:5-9

⁵Whoso mocketh the poor blasphemeth his Maker: he that is glad at calamities will not remain unpunished.

⁶The crown of old men are children's children; and the ornament of children are their fathers.

⁷High-toned language is not seemly to a worthless fool: and yet much less the language of falsehood to a noble.

⁸As a precious stone appeareth a bribe in the eyes of him that obtaineth it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

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