Proverbs 17:4
2 A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share his inheritance as one of the brothers.
3 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but the LORD is the tester of hearts.
A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.
5 He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.
6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.
