Proverbs 17:6-8 American Standard Version (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.
