Proverbs 17:3-7 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

4. An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; and a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.

5. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamity 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.
