The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 17:1-4

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

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

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

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