New American Standard Bible 1995
6 (A)Grandchildren are the crown of old men,
And the (B)glory of sons is their fathers.
7 [a](C)Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are (D)lying lips to a prince.

Wherever he turns, he prospers.

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)
