Today is the 17th of the month. Welcome to the daily audio, Proverb.

I'm Brian. It's great to be here with you today. We're reading from Proverbs chapter 17 from the Amplified Bible today.

Better is a dry morsel with quietness than a house full of feasting, an offered sacrifices with strife.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son who causes shame and shall share in the inheritance among the brothers.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tries the hearts.

An evil doer gives heed to wicked lips and a liar listens to a mischievous tongue.

Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his maker and he who is glad at calamity shall not be held innocent or go unpunished.

Children's children are the crown of old men and the glory of children is their fathers.

Fine or arrogant speech does not be fit and empty-headed fool. Much less do lying lips be fit of prince.

A bribe is like a bright, precious stone that dazzles the eyes and affects the mind of him who gives it as if by magic, he prospers whichever way he turns.

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.

A reproof enters deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred lashes into a self-confident fool.

An evil man seeks only rebellion, therefore a stern and pitiless messenger shall be sent against him.

Let the brute ferocity of a bear robbed of her welps meet a man rather than a self-confident fool in his folly when he is in a rage.

Whoever rewards evil for good evil shall not depart from his house.

The beginning of strife is as when water first trickles from a crack in a dam, therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarreling breaks out.

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both an abomination exceedingly disgusting and hateful to the Lord.

What uses money in the hand of a self-confident fool to buy skillful and godly wisdom when he has no understanding or heart for it?

A friend loves it all times and is born as is a brother for adversity.

A man void of good sense gives a pledge and becomes security for another in the presence of his neighbor.

He who loves strife and his quarrel some loves transgression and involves himself in guilt.

He who raises high his gateway and is boastful and arrogant invites destruction.

He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds no good and he who has a willful and contrary tongue will fall into calamity.

He who becomes the parent of a self-confident fool does it to his sorrow and the father of an empty-headed fool has no joy in him.

A happy heart is as good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

A wicked man receives a bribe out of the bosom pocket to pervert the ways of justice.

A man of understanding sets skillful and godly wisdom before his face but the eyes of a self-confident fool are on the ends of the earth.

A self-confident and foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

Also, to punish or find the righteous is not good nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.

He who has knowledge spares his word and a man of understanding has a cool spirit.

Even a fool when he holds his piece is considered wise when he closes his lips he is esteemed a man of understanding.
