Proverbs 17:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)

1. It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peacethan to have a feast where there is quarreling.

2. A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful childand will even inherit a share of what the master leaves his children.

3. A hot furnace tests silver and gold,but the Lord tests hearts.
