Proverbs 17:4-14 - ESV - An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar ...

4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor ¹insults his Maker; he who is ²glad at calamity will not go ³unpunished.

6 ⁴Grandchildren are ⁵the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

7 Fine speech is not ⁶becoming to a fool; still less is ⁷false speech to a prince.

8 ⁸A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever ⁹covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ¹⁰separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ¹¹a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ¹²a she-bear robbed of her cubs ¹³rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ¹⁴returns evil for good, ¹⁵evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ¹⁶quit before the quarrel breaks out.
