New Testament

Proverbs 17:1-6 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. Better is dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

2. A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance with the brothers.

3. A crucible is for silver and a furnace is for gold, but Adonai tests the heart.

4. An evildoer listens to wicked lips; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

5. Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker. Whoever rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.

6. Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly and the glory of children is their parents.
