Proverbs 17:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 17:7

Compare all

5 ^aHe who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker;
^bHe who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.

6 ^aChildren’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father.

7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
Much less lying lips to a prince.

8 A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

9 ^aHe who covers a transgression seeks love,
But ^bhe who repeats a matter separates friends.
