Proverbs 17:1-6 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.

5. Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.

6. Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.
