American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,Than a house full of {Hebrew: the sacrifices of strife.}feasting with strife.
A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that {Or, doeth shamefully}causeth shame,And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;But Jehovah trieth the hearts.
An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips;And {Hebrew: falsehood.}a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker;And he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
Children's children are the crown of old men;And the glory of children are their fathers.
{Or, Arrogant}Excellent speech becometh not a fool;Much less do lying lips a prince.
