Proverbs 17:3-6

Proverbs 17:3-6 AMP

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests hearts. [Ps 26:2; Prov 27:21; Jer 17:10; Mal 3:3] An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips; And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue. Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker, And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished. [Job 31:29; Prov 14:31; Obad 12] Grandchildren are the crown of aged men, And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives]. [Ps 127:3; 128:3]
