In context

5He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; And he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: But he that has compassion shall find mercy.

6Children’s children are the crown of old men; And their fathers are the glory of children. a The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; But the faithless not even a farthing.

— Proverbs 17:7 —

8Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward: And whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.

9He that conceals injuries seeks love; But he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred.
