1 Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 A servant who acts wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully, And will share in the inheritance among brothers.
3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.
4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips; A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
