Proverbs 17:1-4

King James Version

17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

² A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

³ The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

⁴ A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
