1. Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife.
2. A servant who acts wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully, And will share in the inheritance among brothers.
3. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.
4. An evildoer listens to wicked lips; A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
5. He who mocks the poor taunts his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
6. Grandchildren are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons is their fathers.
7. Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince.
