Proverbs 17:3-5
Authorized (King James) Version
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:
but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 17:3-5
New International Version
4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
