Proverbs 17:1-6
-
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.
-
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
-
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
