Proverbs 17:4-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. The evildoer gives heed to wicked lips,the liar, to a mischievous tongue.

5. Whoever mocks the poor reviles their Maker;whoever rejoices in their misfortune will not go unpunished.

6. Children’s children are the crown of the elderly,and the glory of children is their parentage.

7. Fine words ill fit a fool;how much more lying lips, a noble!
