Proverbs Chapter[BR] 17

1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. 2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. 3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. 4 A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips. 5 He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy. 6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. (17:6AA) The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing. 7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. 8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper. 9 He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and *Comp. Heb. kindred. 10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11 Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils. 13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. 14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty. 15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God. 16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. (17:16AA) He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief. 17 Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born. 18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. 19 A lover of sin rejoices in strifes; 20 and the hard-hearted man *Or, meets not with good men comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs; 21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother. 22 A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. 23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. 24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth. 25 A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. 26 It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes. 27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. 28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
Proverbs 17
1. Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. 2. A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. 3. As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. 4. A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips. 5. He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy. 6. Children’s children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. [(17:6AA)] The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing. 7. Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. 8. Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper. 9. He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and [Comp. Heb.] kindred. 10. A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. 11. Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. 12. Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils. 13. Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. 14. Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty. 15. He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God. 16. Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. [(17:16AA)] He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief. 17. Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born. 18. A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. 19. A lover of sin rejoices in strifes; 20. and the hard-hearted man [Or, meets not with good men] comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs; 21. and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother. 22. A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. 23. The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. 24. The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth. 25. A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. 26. It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes. 27. He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. 28. Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
