3 # The fining pot <04715> is for silver <03701>, and the furnace <03564> for gold <02091>: but the LORD <03068> trieth <0974> (8802) the hearts <03826>.
4 # A wicked doer <07489> (8688) giveth heed <07181> (8688) to false <0205> lips <08193>; and a liar <08267> giveth ear <0238> (8688) to a naughty <01942> tongue <03956>.

10 # A reproof <01606> entereth <05181> (8799) more into a wise man <0995> (8688) than an hundred <03967> stripes <05221> (8687) into a fool <03684>.

20 # He that hath a froward <06141> heart <03820> findeth <04672> (8799) no good <02896>: and he that hath a perverse <02015> (8738) tongue <03956> falleth <05307> (8799) into mischief <07451>.
21 # He that begetteth <03205> (8802) a fool <03684> doeth it to his sorrow <08424>: and the father <01> of a fool <05036> hath no joy <08055> (8799).
22 # A merry <08056> heart <03820> doeth good <03190> (8686) like a medicine <01456>: but a broken <05218> spirit <07307> drieth <03001> (8762) the bones <01634>.
23 # A wicked <07563> man taketh <03947> (8799) a gift <07810> out of the bosom <02436> to pervert <05186> (8687) the ways <0734> of judgment <04941>.
