Tree Of Life Version

Proverbs 17:1-5 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. Better is dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

2. A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance with the brothers.

3. A crucible is for silver and a furnace is for gold, but Adonai tests the heart.

4. An evildoer listens to wicked lips; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

5. Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker. Whoever rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
