Proverbs 17:3
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
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.
The fining pot
is
for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
.
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.
