Proverbs 17:6

4 A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.

5 He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.

7 Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!

8 A bribe is a charm to its giver; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
