1 Better is a dry morsel, if peace be with it, than an house full of [a]sacrifices with strife.

2 A discrete servant shall have rule over a lewd son, and he shall divide the [b]heritage among the brethren.

3 As is the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold, so the Lord trieth the hearts.

4 The wicked giveth heed to false lips, and a liar hearkeneth to the naughty tongue.

5 He that mocketh the poor, reproacheth him that made him: and he that rejoiceth at destruction, shall not be unpunished.

6 Children’s children are the crown of the elders: and the glory of the children are their fathers.

7 [c]High talk becometh not a fool, much less a lying talk a prince.
