Proverbs 17:2-4
English Standard Version

2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over (A)a son who acts shamefully
    and (B)will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.
3 (C)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    (D)and the Lord tests hearts.
4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips,
    and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
