Proverbs 17 - KJV & NRSV

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents.
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.

Bible verse of the day

A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
