2A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful sonand will share the inheritance of the master’s children. 3Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,but the LORD tests the heart. 5Those who mock the poor insult their Maker;those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished. 19Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin;anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster. 27A truly wise person uses few words;a person with understanding is even-tempered.
