Proverbs 17:6 in context

1. 4An evildoer heeds wicked lips.
   A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
2. 5Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.
   He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
3. 6Children’s children are the crown of old men;
   the glory of children are their parents.
4. 7Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool,
   much less do lying lips fit a prince.
5. 8A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;
   wherever he turns, he prospers.
