Proverbs 17:1-5 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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 the Lord 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.
