Proverbs 17:5

A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame,

and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,

but the LORD tests the hearts.

An evildoer heeds wicked lips.

A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

Children’s children are the crown of old men;

the glory of children is their parents.

Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool,

much less do lying lips fit a prince.

A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;

wherever he turns, he prospers.
