Proverbs 17:2-4

American Standard Version

² A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that ^[a]causeth shame,
And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
³ The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;
But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
⁴ An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips;
And ^[b]a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
