2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, And shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, But Yahweh tests the hearts.
4 An evil-doer gives heed to wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6 Children`s children are the crown of old men; The glory of children are their parents.
7 Arrogant speech isn`t fitting for a fool, Much less do lying lips fit a prince.
8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
