Proverbs 17:1-5

¹Better is a dry morsel with joy, than an house full of sacrifices with chiding.

²A wise servant shall be lord of fond or foolish sons; and he shall part heritage among brethren.

³As silver is proved by fire, and gold is proved by a chimney, so the Lord proveth hearts.

⁴An evil man obeyeth to a wicked tongue; and a false man obeyeth to false lips.

⁵He that despiseth a poor man, reproveth his maker; and he that is glad in the falling of another man, shall not be unpunished.
