Proverbs 17:3-5
Lexham English Bible

3 A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace is for the gold,
    but Yahweh will test hearts.
4 He who does evil listens to lips of wickedness,
    and the liar gives heed to the tongue of mischief.
5 He who mocks the poor insults him who made him;
    he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
