Proverbs 17:3


Proverbs 17:2 Proverbs 17:3 (KJV) Proverbs 17:4
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; [and] a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
