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