Proverbs 17:2-5

²A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, And shall divide portions among brethren.

³As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, So are choice hearts with the Lord.

⁴A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: But a righteous man attends not to false lips.

⁵He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; And he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: But he that has compassion shall find mercy.
