Proverbs 17:8 ASV

⁶  Children's children are the crown of old men; And the glory of children are their fathers.

⁷  Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.

⁸  A bribe is 'as' a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

⁹  He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.

¹⁰  A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding Than a hundred stripes into a fool.
