Proverbs 17:3-7 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

3. The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,but the Lord tests the hearts.

4. An evildoer heeds wicked lips.A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

5. Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.

6. Children’s children are the crown of old men;the glory of children are their parents.

7. Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool,much less do lying lips fit a prince.
