Proverbs 17:4-7

New International Version - UK

⁴ A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
    a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

⁵ Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;
    whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

⁶ Children’s children 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!
