A servant who deals wisely will rule over (A)a son who acts shamefully
    and (B)will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.
(C)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    (D)and the Lord tests hearts.
An evildoer listens to wicked lips,
    and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
Whoever mocks the poor (E)insults his Maker;
    he who is (F)glad at calamity will not go (G)unpunished.
(H)Grandchildren are (I)the crown of the aged,
    and the glory of children is their fathers.
