Grandchildren are the crown of the old, and the glory of children is their fathers.
In context
4An evildoer listens to wicked lips; a liar gives ear to a ruinous tongue. 5Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. 6Grandchildren are the crown of the old, and the glory of children is their fathers. 7Fine speech does not suit the godless fool—much less do lying lips a noble. 8A bribe is a charmed stone in the eyes of its owner: wherever he turns, he succeeds.
