2. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3. The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4. A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips: and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5. He that mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children is their fathers.
7. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
