Proverbs 17:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker,^(A)
and one who rejoices over calamity
will not go unpunished.^(B)

⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
and the pride of sons is their fathers.

⁷ Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips;
how much worse are lies for a ruler.
