Proverbs 17:9

Children’s children are the crown of old men;

the glory of children is their parents.

Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool,

much less do lying lips fit a prince.

A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;

wherever he turns, he prospers.

A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding

than a hundred lashes into a fool.

An evil man seeks only rebellion;

therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,

rather than a fool in his folly.
