Proverbs 17:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.(A)
4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips,
and a liar gives heed to a mischievous tongue.
5 Those who mock the poor insult their Maker;
those who are glad at calamity will not go unpunished.(B)
