Proverbs 17:3-5
Common English Bible

3 A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold,
    but the Lord tests the heart.
4 An evildoer pays attention to guilty lips;
    a liar listens to a destructive tongue.
5 Those who mock the poor insult their maker;
    those who rejoice in disaster won’t go unpunished.
