Proverbs 17:6-10

Grandchildren are the crown of the old, And the glory of sons is their fathers.

Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince.

A bribe is a charm in the sight of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers.

One who conceals an offense seeks love, But one who repeats a matter separates close friends.

A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding Than a hundred blows into a fool.
