Proverbs 17:6-8

The Voice

⁶ Grandchildren are the crowning glory and ultimate delight of old age,
    and parents are the pride of their children.
⁷ Elegant speech sounds odd when it comes from a fool,
    and a lie on the lips of a leader is even more out of place!
⁸ A bribe is like an enchanting charm to one who counts on it—
    everywhere he looks he sees the illusion of success.
