Proverbs 17:6-8
Darby Translation
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a vile [man]; how much less do lying lips a noble!
8 A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it prospereth.

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)
