Proverbs 17:3-5
International Standard Version
3 The crucible is for silver
and the furnace for gold—
but the Lord assays hearts.
4 Whoever practices evil pays attention to wicked speech,
and the liar listens to malicious talk.
5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their maker,
and whoever is happy about disaster
will not go unpunished.
Proverbs 17:3-5
New International Version
4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
