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.
5 He that 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 [is] their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
