Proverbs
Chapters 17:1-4
American Standard Version
1Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
2A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
3The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
4An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
