Proverbs 17

17Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.H2896H2720H6595H7962H1004H4392H2077H73792A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son, and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.H7919H5650H4910H1121H954H2505H5159H8432H2513The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.H4715H3701H3564H2091H3068H974H38264A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar pays attention to a malicious tongue.H7489H7181H205H8193H8267H238H1942H39565He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.H3932H7326H2778H6213H8056H343H53526Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.H1121H1121H5850H2205H8597H1121H17Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool—how much worse lying lips to a ruler!H3499H8193H5000H5036H8267H8193H50818A bribe is a charm to the one who gives it; wherever he turns, he succeeds.H7810H2580H68H5869H1167H6437H79199He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.H3680H6588H1245H160H8138H1697H6504H44110A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.H1606H5181H995H3967H5221H368411An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him.H7451H1245H4805H394H4397H797112Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.H1677H7909H6298H376H408H3684H20013If a man pays back evil for good, evil will never leave his house.H7725H7451H2896H7451H4185H4185H100414Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.H7225H4066H6362H4325H5203H7379H6440H156615Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—the LORD detests them both.H6663H7563H7561H6662H8147H8441H306816Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?H4242H3027H3684H7069H2451H382017A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.H7453H157H6256H251H3205H686918A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.H120H2638H3820H8628H3709H6148H6161H6440H745319He who loves a quarrel loves sin; he who builds a high gate invites destruction.H157H6588H157H4683H1361H6607H1245H766720A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.H6141H3820H4672H2896H2015H3956H5307H745121To have a fool for a son brings grief; there is no joy for the father of a fool.H3205H3684H8424H1H5036H805522A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.H8056H3820H3190H1456H5218H7307H3001H163423A wicked man accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the course of justice.H7563H3947H7810H2436H5186H734H494124A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.H2451H6440H995H5869H3684H7097H77625A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.H3684H1121H3708H1H4470H320526It is not good to punish an innocent man, or to flog officials for their integrity.H6064H6662H2896H5221H5081H347627A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.H3045H1847H2820H561H376H8394H3368H7119H730728Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.H191H2790H2803H2450H331H8193H995

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
