Proverbs 17:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts [is] Jehovah.

⁴An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.

⁵Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.

Proverbs 17:3-5

New International Version

but the Lord tests the heart.^(B)

⁴A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

⁵Whoever mocks the poor^(C) shows contempt for their Maker;^(D)
whoever gloats over disaster^(E) will not go unpunished.^(F)
