2.6 KiB
The Lord Tests Hearts
Chapter 17
-
Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
-
A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, And will share an inheritance among the brothers.
-
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests the hearts.
-
An evildoer gives heed to false lips; A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue.
-
He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
-
Children's children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father.
-
Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince.
-
A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
-
He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.
-
Rebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool.
-
An evil man seeks only rebellion; Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
-
Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his folly.
-
Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.
-
The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.
-
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
-
Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it?
-
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
-
A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, And becomes surety for his friend.
-
He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.
-
He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil.
-
He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.
-
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
-
A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back To pervert the ways of justice.
-
Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
-
A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her who bore him.
-
Also, to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to strike princes for their uprightness.
-
He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.
-
Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
