Proverbs 17:2-6

²An intelligent servant will have rule over a son that bringeth shame, and among the brothers will he have part of the inheritance.

³The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but the Lord probeth the hearts.

⁴An evil-doer listeneth to unjust lips: falsehood giveth ear to a tongue that bringeth destruction.

⁵Whoso mocketh the poor blasphemeth his Maker: he that is glad at calamities will not remain unpunished.

⁶The crown of old men are children's children; and the ornament of children are their fathers.
