Amplified Bible
5
Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker,
And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.(A)
6
Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].(B)

Excellent speech does not benefit a fool [who is spiritually blind],
Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.
