2 A wise servant will have rule over a son who causes shame,and will have part of the inheritance among the brothers.
3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,but the Lord tries the hearts.
4 A wicked doer gives heed to false lips,and a liar gives ear to a wayward tongue.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker,and he who is glad at calamities will not be unpunished.
6 Grandchildren are the crown of old men,and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,much less lying lips to a prince.
8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him who has it;wherever he turns, it prospers.
