2. A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful sonand share an inheritance among brothers.
3. A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and the Lord is the tester of hearts.
4. A wicked person listens to malicious talk; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
5. The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker, and one who rejoices over calamitywill not go unpunished.
6. Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,and the pride of sons is their fathers.
