Proverbs 17:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ A wicked person listens to malicious talk;^[a]
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

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.
