Proverbs 17:6-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
6
Grandchildren are the crown of the old,
And the glory of sons is their fathers.
7
Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince.
8
A bribe is a charm in the sight of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9
One who conceals an offense seeks love,
But one who repeats a matter separates close friends.
10
A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.
King James Version
Chapter 17
6
Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
10
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
6
Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
and the pride of children is their fathers.
7
Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips;
how much worse are lies for a ruler.
8
A bribe seems like a magic stone to its owner;
wherever he turns, he succeeds.
9
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love,
but whoever gossips about it separates friends.
10
A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
6
Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children.
7
Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
even less are lies fitting for a ruler.
8
A bribe is like a lucky charm;
whoever gives one will prosper!
9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends.
10
A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
6
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their fathers.
7
Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
still less is false speech to a prince.
8
A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it;
wherever he turns he prospers.
9
Whoever covers an offense seeks love,
but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.
10
A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding
than a hundred blows into a fool.
New International Version
Chapter 17
6
Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.
7
Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
8
A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
they think success will come at every turn.
9
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
10
A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
New King James Version
Chapter 17
6
Children’s children
are
the crown of old men,
And the glory of children
is
their father.
7
Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
Much less lying lips to a prince.
8
A present
is
a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9
He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates friends.
10
Rebuke is more effective for a wise
man
Than a hundred blows on a fool.
