Proverbs 17
17
1Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
Than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,
And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:
But the LORD trieth the hearts.
4A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
And a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
And he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6Children's children are the crown of old men;
And the glory of children are their fathers.
7Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
Much less do lying lips a prince.
8A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
10A reproof entereth more into a wise man
Than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11An evil man seeketh only rebellion:
Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,
Rather than a fool in his folly.
13Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
Evil shall not depart from his house.
14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
Therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,
Even they both are abomination to the LORD.
16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,
Seeing he hath no heart to it?
17A friend loveth at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding striketh hands,
And becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
And he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:
And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:
And the father of a fool hath no joy.
22A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
But a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
To pervert the ways of judgment.
24Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her that bare him.
26Also to punish the just is not good,
Nor to strike princes for equity.
27He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
And a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
And he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
