Proverbs 17:1-3

American Standard Version

17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
Than a house full of ^[a]feasting with strife.
² A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that ^[b]causeth shame,
And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
³ The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;
But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
