Proverbs 17:4-6
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
5 He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker; and he that rejoiceth at another man's ruin, shall not be unpunished.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
