Proverbs 17 - NRSV & NIV

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