Proverbs 17:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Grandchildren are like a crown to older people.
    And children are proud of their parents.

⁷ Fancy words don’t belong in the mouths of ungodly fools.
    And lies certainly don’t belong in the mouths of rulers!

⁸ Those who give money think it will buy them favors.
    They think that no matter where they turn, they will succeed.
