Proverbs 17:1-4 World English Bible (WEB)

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.
