New Testament

Proverbs 17:4-7 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. An evil-doer gives heed to wicked lips; A liar gives ear to a tongue of desire.

5. He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity does not go unpunished.

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

7. Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less lying lips for a noble.
