Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 17:6
Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.
In context
4An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.
7Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
8A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
