Proverbs 17 - NIV & NRSV

Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents.
Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler.
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.
