Proverbs 17:2-4

The Voice

² A wise servant will be put in charge of a child who behaves badly
    and will take a share of the inheritance like one of the family.
³ Silver is purified in the crucible, gold in the furnace,
    but motives of the heart are judged by the Eternal.
⁴ Wrongdoers perk up when listening to gossip,
    and liars lean in close to hear talk of mischief.
