In context
1Better a dry crust with quiet than a house full of feasting with quarreling. 2A servant who acts with insight will rule over a son who brings shame, and will share the inheritance among the brothers. 3The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests hearts. 4An evildoer listens to wicked lips; a liar gives ear to a ruinous tongue. 5Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
