1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness,than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame,and shall have a part in the inheritance amongst the brothers.
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,but the Lord tests the hearts.
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips.A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
