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.
