Proverbs 17:1-8

Better
<02896>
[is] a dry
<02720>
morsel
<06595>_,
and quietness
<07962>
therewith, than an house
<01004>
full
<04392>
of sacrifices
<02077>
[with] strife
<07379>_.
{sacrifices: or, good cheer}
A wise
<07919> (8688)
servant
<05650>
shall have rule
<04910> (8799)
over a son
<01121>
that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_,
and shall have part
<02505> (8799)
of the inheritance
<05159>
among
<08432>
the brethren
<0251>_.
The fining pot
<04715>
[is] for silver
<03701>_,
and the furnace
<03564>
for gold
<02091>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
trieth
<0974> (8802)
the hearts
<03826>_.
A wicked doer
<07489> (8688)
giveth heed
<07181> (8688)
to false
<0205>
lips
<08193>_;
[and] a liar
<08267>
giveth ear
<0238> (8688)
to a naughty
<01942>
tongue
<03956>_.
Whoso mocketh
<03932> (8802)
the poor
<07326> (8802)
reproacheth
<02778> (8765)
his Maker
<06213> (8802)_:
[and] he that is glad
<08056>
at calamities
<0343>
shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_.
{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
Children's
<01121>
children
<01121>
[are] the crown
<05850>
of old men
<02205>_;
and the glory
<08597>
of children
<01121>
[are] their fathers
<01>_.
Excellent
<03499>
speech
<08193>
becometh
<05000>
not a fool
<05036>_:
much less do lying
<08267>
lips
<08193>
a prince
<05081>_.
{Excellent...: Heb. A lip of excellency} {lying...: Heb. a lip of lying}
A gift
<07810>
[is as] a precious
<02580>
stone
<068>
in the eyes
<05869>
of him that hath
<01167>
it: whithersoever it turneth
<06437> (8799)_,
it prospereth
<07919> (8686)_.
{a precious...: Heb. a stone of grace}
