Proverbs 17:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
    while the glory of children is their ancestors.

⁷ Fine speech is unbecoming to a boor,
    and even less lying lips to a leader.

⁸ A bribe works like a charm, in the view of him who gives it —
    wherever it turns, it succeeds.
