Proverbs 17:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Old people should be proud of their grandchildren.
    In the same way, children should be proud of their parents.
⁷ It does not seem right when a fool says clever things.
    It is certainly not right when a ruler tells lies.
⁸ Somebody who offers a bribe thinks that it will work like magic.
    It will help him to do whatever he wants to do.
