Proverbs 17:1 (RV) Revised Version

1 Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith, than an house full of feasting with strife.
2 A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4 An evil�doer giveth heed to wicked lips; {cf15i and} a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: {cf15i and} he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6 Children�s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8 A gift is {cf15i as} a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love: but he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.
10 A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is {cf15i as} when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before there be quarrelling.
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding?
17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: he that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21 He that begetteth a fool {cf15i doeth it} to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 A merry heart is a good medicine: but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Wisdom is before the face of him that hath understanding: but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, {cf15i nor} to smite the noble for {cf15i their} uprightness.
27 He that spareth his words hath knowledge: and he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: when he shutteth his lips, he is {cf15i esteemed as} prudent.
1 Better H2896 is a dry H2720 morsel, H6595 and quietness H7962 therewith , than a house H4480 H1004 full H4392 of sacrifices H2077 with strife. H7379
2 A wise H7919 servant H5650 shall have rule H4910 over a son H1121 that causeth shame, H954 and shall have part H2505 of the inheritance H5159 among H8432 the brethren. H251
3 The refining pot H4715 is for silver, H3701 and the furnace H3564 for gold: H2091 but the LORD H3068 trieth H974 the hearts. H3826
4 A wicked doer H7489 giveth heed H7181 to H5921 false H205 lips; H8193 and a liar H8267 giveth ear H238 to H5921 a naughty H1942 tongue. H3956
5 Whoso mocketh H3932 the poor H7326 reproacheth H2778 his Maker: H6213 and he that is glad H8056 at calamities H343 shall not H3808 be unpunished. H5352
6 Children H1121 's children H1121 are the crown H5850 of old men; H2205 and the glory H8597 of children H1121 are their fathers. H1
7 Excellent H3499 speech H8193 becometh H5000 not H3808 a fool: H5036 much less H637 H3588 do lying H8267 lips H8193 a prince. H5081
8 A gift H7810 is as a precious H2580 stone H68 in the eyes H5869 of him that hath H1167 it: whithersoever H413 H3605 H834 it turneth, H6437 it prospereth. H7919
9 He that covereth H3680 a transgression H6588 seeketh H1245 love; H160 but he that repeateth H8138 a matter H1697 separateth H6504 very friends. H441
10 A reproof H1606 entereth more H5181 into a wise H995 man than a hundred H3967 stripes H4480 H5221 into a fool. H3684

12 Let a bear H1677 robbed H7909 of her whelps meet H6298 a man, H376 rather H408 than a fool H3684 in his folly. H200
13 Whoso rewardeth H7725 evil H7451 for H8478 good, H2896 evil H7451 shall not H3808 depart H4185 from his house H4480 H1004 .
14 The beginning H7225 of strife H4066 is as when one letteth out H6362 water: H4325 therefore leave off H5203 contention, H7379 before H6440 it be meddled with. H1566
15 He that justifieth H6663 the wicked, H7563 and he that condemneth H7561 the just, H6662 even H1571 they both H8147 are abomination H8441 to the LORD. H3068
16 Wherefore H4100 H2088 is there a price H4242 in the hand H3027 of a fool H3684 to get H7069 wisdom, H2451 seeing he hath no H369 heart H3820 to it ?

18 A man H120 void H2638 of understanding H3820 striketh H8628 hands, H3709 and becometh H6148 surety H6161 in the presence H6440 of his friend. H7453
19 He loveth H157 transgression H6588 that loveth H157 strife: H4683 and he that exalteth H1361 his gate H6607 seeketh H1245 destruction. H7667
20 He that hath a froward H6141 heart H3820 findeth H4672 no H3808 good: H2896 and he that hath a perverse H2015 tongue H3956 falleth H5307 into mischief. H7451
21 He that begetteth H3205 a fool H3684 doeth it to his sorrow: H8424 and the father H1 of a fool H5036 hath no H3808 joy. H8055
22 A merry H8056 heart H3820 doeth good H3190 like a medicine: H1456 but a broken H5218 spirit H7307 drieth H3001 the bones. H1634
23 A wicked H7563 man taketh H3947 a gift H7810 out of the bosom H4480 H2436 to pervert H5186 the ways H734 of judgment. H4941

25 A foolish H3684 son H1121 is a grief H3708 to his father, H1 and bitterness H4470 to her that bore H3205 him.
26 Also H1571 to punish H6064 the just H6662 is not H3808 good, H2896 nor to strike H5221 princes H5081 for H5921 equity. H3476
27 He that hath knowledge H3045 H1847 spareth H2820 his words: H561 and a man H376 of understanding H8394 is of an excellent H3368 spirit. H7307
28 Even H1571 a fool, H191 when he holdeth his peace, H2790 is counted H2803 wise: H2450 and he that shutteth H331 his lips H8193 is esteemed a man of understanding. H995
