Proverbs 17:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴An evildoer listens to wicked lips;
    and a liar gives heed to a mischievous tongue.
⁵He who mocks the poor insults his Maker;
    he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
⁶Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
    and the glory of sons is their fathers.
