Proverbs 17:1-4 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting with strife.

2. A wise servant shall rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

3. The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but Jehovah trieth the hearts.

4. The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
