Better a dry crust
Better a dry crust with quietness than a house full of sacrifices and conflict. A wise servant will rule over a son who brings shame, and will share the inheritance among the brothers. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests hearts. A wicked person listens to false lips, and a liar pays attention to a malicious tongue. Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker, and whoever is glad at calamity won't escape punishment. Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers. Excellent speech doesn't suit a fool; much less do lying lips suit a prince. A gift seems like a precious stone to the one who has it; wherever he turns, he prospers. Whoever covers a wrongdoing seeks love, but whoever keeps bringing it up separates close friends. A rebuke sinks deeper into a wise man than a hundred blows into a fool. An evil man seeks only rebellion, so a cruel messenger will be sent against him. Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly. Whoever repays evil for good will have evil remain in his house. The beginning of conflict is like letting water loose, so leave off arguing before it breaks out.
Better a dry crust with quiet, than a house full of feasting with fighting. A wise servant will rule over a son who brings shame, and will have a share of the inheritance among the brothers. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the hearts. A wicked doer pays attention to false lips, and a liar turns his ear to a wicked tongue. Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker, and the one who's glad at disasters won't go unpunished. Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers. Excellent speech doesn't fit a fool — much less do lying lips fit a leader. A gift is like a precious stone in the eyes of the one who has it. Wherever it turns, it does well. The one who covers a wrong looks for love, but the one who keeps repeating a matter separates close mates. A telling-off goes deeper into a wise man than a hundred blows into a fool. An evil man only looks for rebellion. So a cruel messenger will be sent against him. Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. Whoever pays back evil for good — evil won't leave his house. The start of fighting is like letting out water. So leave off arguing before it breaks out.
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

A merry heart
Whoever justifies the wicked and whoever condemns the righteous are both disgusting to the LORD. Why is there money in a fool's hand to buy wisdom when he has no heart for it? A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. A man without understanding shakes hands on a pledge and guarantees another person's debt in front of his friend. Whoever loves wrongdoing loves conflict; whoever exalts his gate seeks destruction. A perverse heart finds no good, and a perverse tongue falls into trouble. Whoever fathers a fool does so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy. A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. A wicked man accepts a gift from under the cloak to pervert the ways of judgment. Wisdom is before the face of a person of understanding, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth. A foolish son is grief to his father and bitterness to the woman who bore him. It isn't good to punish the righteous, nor to strike princes for uprightness. Whoever has knowledge uses few words, and a person of understanding has an excellent spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he keeps quiet; when he shuts his lips, he seems understanding.
The one who counts the wicked right and the one who condemns the righteous — both of them are disgusting to the Lord. Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he's got no heart for it? A mate loves at all times, and a brother is born for hard times. A man with no sense strikes hands and goes surety in front of his mate. The one who loves stepping over the line loves fighting, and the one who lifts up his gate looks for ruin. The one with a twisted heart finds no good, and the one with a crooked tongue falls into trouble. Whoever fathers a fool does it to his own grief, and the father of a fool has no joy. A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. A wicked man takes a gift out of the fold of his coat, to twist the ways of judgment. Wisdom is in front of the one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are at the ends of the earth. A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to the one who had him. It isn't good to fine the righteous, or to strike leaders for being upright. The one who has knowledge holds back his words, and a man of understanding is of a cool spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace, and the one who shuts his lips is counted a man of understanding.
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
