1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3 The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips: and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5 He that mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
