Proverbs 17:6 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 6. Children's children are the crown of old men, it is a blessing of the Lord and a source of honor and pride to the gray-headed if they see their offspring to the third generation, for the happiness of the younger generation is reflected in the life of the older; and the glory of children are their fathers, for the rule works both ways, and pious children share in the honor enjoyed by their parents.

Proverbs 17:6
