Proverbs 17:2-22 - ESV - A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son...

2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over ¹a son who acts shamefully and ²will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.

3 ³The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, ⁴and the LORD tests hearts.

4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor ⁵insults his Maker; he who is ⁶glad at calamity will not go ⁷unpunished.

6 ⁸Grandchildren are ⁹the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

7 Fine speech is not ¹⁰becoming to a fool; still less is ¹¹false speech to a prince.

8 ¹²A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever ¹³covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ¹⁴separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ¹⁵a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ¹⁶a she-bear robbed of her cubs ¹⁷rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ¹⁸returns evil for good, ¹⁹evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ²⁰quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ²¹justifies the wicked and he who ²²condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ²³to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ²⁴A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ²⁵makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 ²⁶A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who ²⁷sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 ²⁸A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit ²⁹dries up the bones.
