Proverbs 17:3-5

Modern English Version

³ The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
    but the Lord tries the hearts.

⁴ A wicked doer gives heed to false lips,
    and a liar gives ear to a wayward tongue.

⁵ Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker,
    and he who is glad at calamities will not be unpunished.
