Proverbs 17:3-5

American Standard Version

³ The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;
But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
⁴ An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips;
And ^[a]a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
⁵ Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker;
And he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
