1
Our Thoughts Are Tested by the
A dry crust of bread eaten in peace and quiet is better than a feast eaten where everyone argues.
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2 A wise slave will be placed in charge of a no-good child, and that slave will be given the same inheritance that each child receives. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3 Silver and gold are tested by flames of fire; our thoughts are tested by the Lord. The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 Troublemakers listen to troublemakers, and liars listen to liars. A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5 By insulting the poor, you insult your Creator. You will be punished if you make fun of someone in trouble. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6 Grandparents are proud of their grandchildren, and children should be proud of their parents. Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 It sounds strange for a fool to talk sensibly, but it's even worse for a ruler to tell lies. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8 A bribe works miracles like a magic charm that brings good luck. A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 You will keep your friends if you forgive them, but you will lose your friends if you keep talking about what they did wrong. He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
10 A sensible person accepts correction, but you can't beat sense into a fool. A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 Cruel people want to rebel, and so vicious attackers will be sent against them. An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 A bear robbed of her cubs is far less dangerous than a stubborn fool. Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 You will always have trouble if you are mean to those who are good to you. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 The start of an argument is like a water leak— so stop it before real trouble breaks out. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15 The Lord doesn't like those who defend the guilty or condemn the innocent. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
16 Why should fools have money for an education when they refuse to learn? Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17 A friend is there to help, in any situation, and relatives are born to share our troubles. A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 It's stupid to guarantee someone else's loan. A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19 The wicked and the proud love trouble and keep begging to be hurt. He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20 Dishonesty does you no good, and telling lies will get you in trouble. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21 It's never pleasant to be the parent of a fool and have nothing but pain. He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 If you are cheerful, you feel good; if you are sad, you hurt all over. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 Crooks accept secret bribes to keep justice from being done. A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Anyone with wisdom knows what makes good sense, but fools can never make up their minds. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 Foolish children bring sorrow and pain to their parents. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26 It isn't fair to punish the innocent and those who do right. Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
27 It makes a lot of sense to be a person of few words and to stay calm. He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28 Even fools seem smart when they are quiet. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
