A Chapter a Day - The Book of Proverbs Chapter 17 1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet 2 A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son, 3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, 4 A wicked man listens to evil lips; 5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; 6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, 7 Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool— 8 A bribe is a charm to the one who gives it; 9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, 10 A rebuke impresses a man of discernment 11 An evil man is bent only on rebellion; 12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs 13 If a man pays back evil for good, 14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; 15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— 16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, 17 A friend loves at all times, 18 A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in pledge 19 He who loves a quarrel loves sin; 20 A man of perverse heart does not prosper; 21 To have a fool for a son brings grief; 22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, 23 A wicked man accepts a bribe in secret 24 A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, 25 A foolish son brings grief to his father 26 It is not good to punish an innocent man, 27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, 28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, |
