Proverbs 17
17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
17:2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,
and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
17:3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:
but the LORD trieth the hearts.
17:4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
17:5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17:6 Children's children are the crown of old men;
and the glory of children are their fathers.
17:7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
17:8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
17:10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
17:11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion:
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
17:12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17:14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,
even they both are abomination to the LORD.
17:16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
17:18 A man void of understanding striketh hands,
and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
17:19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
17:20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:
and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
17:21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:
and the father of a fool hath no joy.
17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
17:23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
17:24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
17:25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
17:26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
