Proverbs 17:2-4

Amplified Bible

²
A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]
And [the worthy servant] will share in the inheritance among the brothers.
³
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
But the Lord tests hearts.^(A)
⁴
An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;
And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.
