00:00.990 --> 00:07.490
Chapter Seventeen Better is a dry morsel
and quietness therewith than a house full

00:07.490 --> 00:09.050
of sacrifices with strife.

00:10.410 --> 00:14.610
A wise servant shall have rule over a son
that causeth shame, and shall have part of

00:14.610 --> 00:15.950
the inheritance among the brethren.

00:17.290 --> 00:21.870
The fining pot is for silver, and the
furnace for gold, but the Lord trieth the

00:21.870 --> 00:22.250
hearts.

00:22.910 --> 00:27.470
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips,
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

00:28.550 --> 00:33.510
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his
maker, and he that is glad at calamities

00:33.510 --> 00:35.090
shall not be unpunished.

00:36.210 --> 00:40.170
Children's children are the crown of old
men, and the glory of children are their

00:40.170 --> 00:40.550
fathers.

00:41.730 --> 00:46.170
Excellent speech becometh not a fool,
much less do lying lips a prince.

00:47.370 --> 00:51.850
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes
of him that hath it, whithersoever it

00:51.850 --> 00:53.270
turneth, it prospereth.

00:53.890 --> 00:58.510
He that covereth a transgression seeketh
love, but he that repeateth the matter

00:58.510 --> 01:00.230
separateth very friends.

01:01.390 --> 01:05.290
A reproof entereth more into a wise man
than in hundred stripes into a fool.

01:06.690 --> 01:11.550
An evil man seeketh only rebellion,
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent

01:11.550 --> 01:12.130
against him.

01:13.190 --> 01:17.390
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a
man, rather than a fool in his folly.

01:18.450 --> 01:23.030
Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
evil shall not depart from his house.

01:24.230 --> 01:29.050
The beginning of strife is as when one
letteth out water, therefore leave off

01:29.050 --> 01:30.930
contention before it be meddled with.

01:32.270 --> 01:35.330
He that justifieth the wicked,
and he that condemneth the just,

01:35.830 --> 01:38.050
even they both are abomination to the
Lord.

01:39.490 --> 01:43.370
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of
a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no

01:43.370 --> 01:43.930
heart to it?

01:44.710 --> 01:49.050
A friend loveth at all times, and a
brother is born for adversity.

01:49.950 --> 01:54.110
A man void of understanding striketh
hands, and becometh surety in the presence

01:54.110 --> 01:54.730
of his friend.

01:55.830 --> 02:00.130
He loveth transgression that loveth
strife, and he that exalteth his gate

02:00.130 --> 02:01.070
seeketh destruction.

02:02.510 --> 02:07.050
He that hath a froward heart findeth no
good, and he that hath a perverse tongue

02:07.050 --> 02:08.410
falleth into mischief.

02:09.450 --> 02:14.890
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his
sorrow, and the father of a fool hath no

02:14.890 --> 02:15.250
joy.

02:16.430 --> 02:21.450
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,
but a broken spirit dryeth the bones.

02:22.530 --> 02:26.230
A wicked man taketh the gift out of the
bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

02:27.430 --> 02:31.590
Wisdom is before him that hath
understanding, but the eyes of a fool are

02:31.590 --> 02:32.690
in the ends of the earth.

02:33.590 --> 02:37.930
A foolish son is a grief to his father,
and bitterness to her that bear him.

02:38.890 --> 02:43.230
Also to punish the just is not good,
nor to strike princes for equity.

02:44.370 --> 02:49.210
He that hath knowledge spareth his words,
and a man of understanding is of an

02:49.210 --> 02:49.910
excellent spirit.

02:51.050 --> 02:55.770
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace,
is counted wise, and he that shutteth his

02:55.770 --> 02:58.250
lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
