4) A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

3) The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The scriptural meaning of your “heart” is largely your “spirit”.
Jesus consistently evaluates your spirit, and purifies it as needed.
He works, through the Holy Spirit, to safeguard your Narrow Path.
