Proverbs Chapter 17
|
|||
|
|
1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
|
|||
|
|
2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
|
|||
|
|
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.
|
|||
|
|
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
|
|||
|
|
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
|
|||
|
|
6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children is their parents.
|
|||
|
|
7 Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
|
|||
|
|
8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
|
|||
|
|
9 He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
|
|||
|
|
10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.
|
|||
|
|
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
|
|||
|
|
12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
|
|||
|
|
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
|
|||
|
|
14 The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
|
|||
|
|
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
16 Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
|
|||
|
|
17 A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
|
|||
|
|
18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
|
|||
|
|
19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
|
|||
|
|
20 One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
|
|||
|
|
21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
|
|||
|
|
22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
|
|||
|
|
23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
|
|||
|
|
24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
|
|||
|
|
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
|
|||
|
|
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
|
|||
|
|
27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
|
|||
|
|
28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
