Proverbs - Chapter: 17


17:1	Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
17:2	A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
17:3	The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
17:4	A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
17:5	Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17:6	Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
17:7	Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
17:8	A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17:9	He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
17:10	A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
17:11	An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
17:12	Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
17:13	Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17:14	The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17:15	He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
17:16	Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17:17	A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
17:18	A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
17:19	He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
17:20	He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
17:21	He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
17:22	A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
17:23	A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
17:24	Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
17:25	A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
17:26	Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
17:27	He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
17:28	Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

17:1	Better `is' a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.
17:2	A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance.
17:3	A refining pot `is' for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts `is' Jehovah.
17:4	An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.
17:5	Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.
17:6	Sons' sons `are' the crown of old men, And the glory of sons `are' their fathers.
17:7	Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.
17:8	A stone of grace `is' the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17:9	Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
17:10	Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred stripes on a fool.
17:11	An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
17:12	The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And -- not a fool in his folly.
17:13	Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his house.
17:14	The beginning of contention `is' a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.
17:15	Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these `are' an abomination to Jehovah.
17:16	Why `is' this -- a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?
17:17	At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.
17:18	A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.
17:19	Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.
17:20	The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
17:21	Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.
17:22	A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
17:23	A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
17:24	The face of the intelligent `is' to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.
17:25	A provocation to his father `is' a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
