2.6 KiB
Chapter 17
-
Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
-
A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.
-
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts.
-
An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
-
Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
-
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.
-
Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.
-
A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.
-
Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.
-
A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.
-
An evil man seeks only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
-
Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly.
-
If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.
-
The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
-
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.
-
Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense?
-
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
-
One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.
-
Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.
-
A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
-
He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
-
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
-
The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.
-
The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, 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.
-
To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
-
Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
-
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
