Proverbs 17:5

³ The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

⁴ A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

⁶ Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

⁷ Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
