Proverbs 17:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Those who mock the poor insult their Maker;
    those who are glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
    and the glory of children is their parents.
⁷ Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
    still less is false speech to a ruler.^[a]
