Proverbs 17:1-4

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