Proverbs 17:6-8

⁶Old people are usually proud of MET their grandchildren, just like children are usually proud of their parents.

⁷Fine/Eloquent speech is not suitable for foolish people to say, just like lies are not suitable for rulers to say.

⁸People think that a bribe is like a magic stone to persuade someone to do what they want him to do; they think that because of the bribe, that person will do whatever they want him to do.
