Proverbs 17:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their maker,
and whoever is happy about disaster
will not go unpunished.

⁶Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the pride of children is their parents.

⁷Appropriate speech is inconsistent with the fool;
how much more are deceitful statements^[a] with a prince!
