Proverbs 17:6-8
Amplified Bible
6
Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].(A)
7
Excellent speech does not benefit a fool [who is spiritually blind],
Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.
8
A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

New International Version
Proverbs 17:6-8
New International Version
6 Children’s children(A) are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.
7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler!(B)
8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
they think success will come at every turn.(C)
