Proverbs 17:3

3 The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold, but the one who tests hearts is ADONAI.

Proverbs 17:3 In-Context

1 Better a dry piece of bread with calm than a house full of food but also full of strife.
2 An intelligent slave will rule a shameful son and share the inheritance with the brothers.
3 The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold, but the one who tests hearts is ADONAI.
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips; a liar listens to destructive talk.
5 He who mocks the poor insults his maker; he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
