Proverbs 17:1-4 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

2. A servant that dealeth wisely shall have 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 the Lord trieth the hearts.

4. An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; and a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
