Proverbs 17:5 Context
3The fining pot is for siluer, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts. 4A wicked doer giueth heed to false lips: and a liar giueth eare to a naughtie tongue. 5Whoso mocketh the poore, reproacheth his maker: and he that is glad at calamities, shall not be vnpunished. 6Childrens children are the crowne of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers. 7Excellent speech becommeth not a foole: much lesse doe lying lippes a prince.
