Proverbs 17:1-5

¹Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

²A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

³The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: But the Lord trieth the hearts.

⁴A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; And a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

⁵Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: And he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
