Proverbs 17:5

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁴

And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.

Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].

“On the day that [Jerusalem was destroyed] you stood aloof [from your brother Jacob]—
