“Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.”
King James Version (KJV)
17:4 False lips - To false accusations and calumnies, which give him occasion and encouragement to do mischief.
17:7 Excellent speech - Discourse of high and excellent things.
17:8 A precious stone - Pleasant and acceptable; and withal dazzles his eyes. Whithersoever - To whomsoever it is presented. But this, as also many of her proverbs, are to be understood of most men, not of all.
