Proverbs
Chapters 17:1-4
English Revised Version
1Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith, than an 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 fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; and a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
