1. Better a dry crust with quietthan a house full of feasting with quarrels.
2. An insightful servant rules over a disgraceful sonand will divide an inheritancewith the brothers.
3. A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold,but the Lord tests the heart.
4. An evildoer pays attention to guilty lips;a liar listens to a destructive tongue.
5. Those who mock the poor insult their maker;those who rejoice in disaster won’t go unpunished.
