3 The refining 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 wicked tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker, and he that is glad at calamities shall not go 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.
8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love, but he that repeateth a matter separateth good friends.
10 A reproof entereth deeper into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her whelps, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
