Proverbs 17:6-8
Lexham English Bible

6 The crown of the elderly are grandchildren,[a]
    and the glory of children is their fathers.
7 Fine speech[b] is not becoming a fool,
    still less[c] is false speech[d] for a ruler.
8 The bribe is a stone of magic in the eyes of its owner;[e]
    everywhere[f] he will turn, he will prosper.
