Proverbs 17:1 - Prayer Tents

17Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.H2896H2720H6595H7962H1004H4392H2077H7379 2A slave who deals wisely will rule over a child who acts shamefully, and will share the inheritance as one of the family.H7919H5650H4910H1121H954H2505H5159H8432H251 3The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.H4715H3701H3564H2091H3068H974H3826 4An evildoer listens to wicked lips; and a liar gives heed to a mischievous tongue.H7489H7181H205H8193H8267H238H1942H3956 5Those who mock the poor insult their Maker; those who are glad at calamity will not go unpunished.H3932H7326H2778H6213H8056H343H5352 6Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents.H1121H1121H5850H2205H8597H1121H1 7Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler.H3499H8193H5000H5036H8267H8193H5081 8A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of those who give it; wherever they turn they prosper.H7810H2580H68H5869H1167H6437H7919 9One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.H3680H6588H1245H160H8138H1697H6504H441 10A rebuke strikes deeper into a discerning person than a hundred blows into a fool.H1606H5181H995H3967H5221H3684 11Evil people seek only rebellion, but a cruel messenger will be sent against them.H7451H1245H4805H394H4397H7971 12Better to meet a she-bear robbed of its cubs than to confront a fool immersed in folly.H1677H7909H6298H376H408H3684H200 13Evil will not depart from the house of one who returns evil for good.H7725H7451H2896H7451H4185H4185H1004 14The beginning of strife is like letting out water; so stop before the quarrel breaks out.H7225H4066H6362H4325H5203H7379H6440H1566 15One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.H6663H7563H7561H6662H8147H8441H3068 16Why should fools have a price in hand to buy wisdom, when they have no mind to learn?H4242H3027H3684H7069H2451H3820 17A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.H7453H157H6256H251H3205H6869 18It is senseless to give a pledge, to become surety for a neighbor.H120H2638H3820H8628H3709H6148H6161H6440H7453 19One who loves transgression loves strife; one who builds a high threshold invites broken bones.H157H6588H157H4683H1361H6607H1245H7667 20The crooked of mind do not prosper, and the perverse of tongue fall into calamity.H6141H3820H4672H2896H2015H3956H5307H7451 21The one who begets a fool gets trouble; the parent of a fool has no joy.H3205H3684H8424H1H5036H8055 22A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.H8056H3820H3190H1456H5218H7307H3001H1634 23The wicked accept a concealed bribe to pervert the ways of justice.H7563H3947H7810H2436H5186H734H4941 24The discerning person looks to wisdom, but the eyes of a fool to the ends of the earth.H2451H6440H995H5869H3684H7097H776 25Foolish children are a grief to their father and bitterness to her who bore them.H3684H1121H3708H1H4470H3205 26To impose a fine on the innocent is not right, or to flog the noble for their integrity.H6064H6662H2896H5221H5081H3476 27One who spares words is knowledgeable; one who is cool in spirit has understanding.H3045H1847H2820H561H376H8394H3368H7119H7307 28Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.H191H2790H2803H2450H331H8193H995
