Proverbs 17:4-6

Proverbs 17:4-6 AMP

An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips; And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue. Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker, And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished. [Job 31:29; Prov 14:31; Obad 12] Grandchildren are the crown of aged men, And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives]. [Ps 127:3; 128:3]
