Proverbs 17:1-3

New Living Translation

17 Better a dry crust eaten in peace
than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.

²A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance of the master’s children.

³Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.

Proverbs 17:1-3

New International Version

17 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
than a house full of feasting, with strife.^(A)

²A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

³The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,^(B)
but the Lord tests the heart.^(C)

17 Better is ^(A)a dry morsel with quietness,
Than a house full of ^[a]feasting with strife.

²A wise servant will rule over ^(B)a son who causes shame,
And will share an inheritance among the brothers.

³The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
^(C)But the Lord tests the hearts.
