New International Reader's Version

Proverbs 17:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peace and quiet than to eat a big dinner in a house that is full of fighting.

2. A wise servant will rule over a shameful child. He will be given part of the property as if he were a family member.

3. Fire tests silver. Heat tests gold. But the Lord tests our hearts.
