Proverbs

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