Proverbs 17:5-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Whoever mocks the poor reviles their Maker;whoever rejoices in their misfortune will not go unpunished.

6. Children’s children are the crown of the elderly,and the glory of children is their parentage.

7. Fine words ill fit a fool;how much more lying lips, a noble!

8. A bribe seems a charm to its user;at every turn it brings success.

9. Whoever overlooks an offense fosters friendship,but whoever gossips about it separates friends.
