1 It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peacethan to have a feast where there is quarreling.
2 A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful childand will even inherit a share of what the master leaves his children.
3 A hot furnace tests silver and gold,but the Lord tests hearts.
4 Evil people listen to evil words.Liars pay attention to cruel words.
5 Whoever mistreats the poor insults their Maker;whoever enjoys someone’s trouble will be punished.
