Proverbs 17:6-11

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

⁷Overbearing speech becometh not a churl; much less do lying lips a prince.

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

⁹He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that harpeth on a matter estrangeth a familiar friend.

¹⁰A rebuke entereth deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.

¹¹A rebellious man seeketh only evil; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
