Proverbs 17:3-5

The Voice

³ Silver is purified in the crucible, gold in the furnace,
    but motives of the heart are judged by the Eternal.
⁴ Wrongdoers perk up when listening to gossip,
    and liars lean in close to hear talk of mischief.
⁵ Anyone who makes fun of the poor disparages his Maker,
    and those who celebrate another’s misfortune will not escape certain punishment.
