New Testament

Proverbs 17:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. Children’s children are the crown of old men,And the glory of children is their father.

7. Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,Much less lying lips to a prince.

8. A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;Wherever he turns, he prospers.

9. He who covers a transgression seeks love,But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

10. Rebuke is more effective for a wise manThan a hundred blows on a fool.
