Selections from Proverbs 17
The Holy Bible
1. Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of
feasting with strife.
3. The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
and Yahweh tries hearts.
4. An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives
heed to a mischievous tongue.
5. He who mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is
glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
9. He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who
repeats a matter alienates a friend.
10. A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than
a hundred blows into a fool.
12. Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs, rather
than a fool in his folly.
13. If a man returns evil for good, evil will not depart
from his house.
15. He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the
righteous are both alike an abomination to Yahweh.
17. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for
adversity.
22. A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast
spirit dries up the bones.
27. He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has
a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
