Proverbs 17:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ ¶ The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tries the hearts.

⁴ ¶ An evil doer gives heed to false lips, and a liar gives ear to the tongue which curses.

⁵ ¶ Whosoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker, and he that is glad regarding the calamity of someone else shall not go unpunished.
