Proverbs 17:1-10   New International Version     Better a dry crust with peace and quiet     than a house full of feasting, with strife. A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son     and will share the inheritance as one of the family. The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,     but the Lord tests the heart. A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;     a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;     whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. Children's children are a crown to the aged,     and parents are the pride of their children. Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—     how much worse lying lips to a ruler! A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;     they think success will come at every turn. Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,     but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. A rebuke impresses a discerning person     more than a hundred lashes a fool.
