| Proverbs 17 Text (WEB)
|
- Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
- A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
- The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.
- An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
- Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
- Children's children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.
- Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
- A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
- He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
- A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.
- An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
- Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
- Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
- The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
- He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
- Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
- A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
- A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
- He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
- One who has a perverse heart doesn't find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
- He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
- A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
- A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
- Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
- A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
- Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
- He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
- Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

| Proverbs 17 Text (Hebrew)

- טוב פת חרבה ושלוה־בה מבית מלא זבחי־ריב׃
- עבד־משכיל ימשל בבן מביש ובתוך אחים יחלק נחלה׃
- מצרף לכסף וכור לזהב ובחן לבות יהוה׃
- מרע מקשיב על־שפת־און שקר מזין על־לשון הות׃
- לעג לרש חרף עשהו שמח לאיד לא ינקה׃
- עטרת זקנים בני בנים ותפארת בנים אבותם׃
- לא־נאוה לנבל שפת־יתר אף כי־לנדיב שפת־שקר׃
- אבן־חן השחד בעיני בעליו אל־כל־אשר יפנה ישכיל׃
- מכסה־פשע מבקש אהבה ושנה בדבר מפריד אלוף׃
- תחת גערה במבין מהכות כסיל מאה׃
- אך־מרי יבקש־רע ומלאך אכזרי ישלח־בו׃
- פגוש דב שכול באיש ואל־כסיל באולתו׃
- משיב רעה תחת טובה לא־ רעה מביתו׃
- פוטר מים ראשית מדון ולפני התגלע הריב נטוש׃
- מצדיק רשע ומרשיע צדיק תועבת יהוה גם־שניהם׃
- למה־זה מחיר ביד־כסיל לקנות חכמה ולב־אין׃
- בכל־עת אהב הרע ואח לצרה יולד׃
- אדם חסר־לב תוקע כף ערב ערבה לפני רעהו׃
- אהב פשע אהב מצה מגביה פתחו מבקש־שבר׃
- עקש־לב לא ימצא־טוב ונהפך בלשונו יפול ברעה׃
- ילד כסיל לתוגה לו ולא־ישמח אבי נבל׃
- לב שמח ייטב גהה ורוח נכאה תיבש־גרם׃
- שחד מחיק רשע יקח להטות ארחות משפט׃
- את־פני מבין חכמה ועיני כסיל בקצה־ארץ׃
- כעס לאביו בן כסיל וממר ליולדתו׃
- גם ענוש לצדיק לא־טוב להכות נדיבים על־ישר׃
- חושך אמריו יודע דעת ־רוח איש תבונה׃
- גם אויל מחריש חכם יחשב אטם שפתיו נבון׃

| Proverbs 17 Text (Latin)
|
- Melior est buccella sicca cum gaudio, quam domus plena victimis cum jurgio.
- Servus sapiens dominabitur filiis stultis, et inter fratres hæreditatem dividet.
- Sicut igne probatur argentum et aurum camino, ita corda probat Dominus.
- Malus obedit linguæ iniquæ, et fallax obtemperat labiis mendacibus.
- Qui despicit pauperem exprobrat factori ejus, et qui ruina lætatur alterius non erit impunitus.
- Corona senum filii filiorum, et gloria filiorum patres eorum.
- Non decent stultum verba composita, nec principem labium mentiens.
- Gemma gratissima exspectatio præstolantis ; quocumque se vertit, prudenter intelligit.
- Qui celat delictum quærit amicitias ; qui altero sermone repetit, separat fœderatos.
- Plus proficit correptio apud prudentem, quam centum plagæ apud stultum.
- Semper jurgia quærit malus ; angelus autem crudelis mittetur contra eum.
- Expedit magis ursæ occurrere raptis fœtibus, quam fatuo confidenti in stultitia sua.
- Qui reddit mala pro bonis, non recedet malum de domo ejus.
- Qui dimittit aquam caput est jurgiorum, et antequam patiatur contumeliam judicium deserit.
- Qui justificat impium, et qui condemnat justum, abominabilis est uterque apud Deum.
- Quid prodest stulto habere divitias, cum sapientiam emere non possit ? Qui altum facit domum suam quærit ruinam, et qui evitat discere incidet in mala.
- Omni tempore diligit qui amicus est, et frater in angustiis comprobatur.
- Stultus homo plaudet manibus, cum spoponderit pro amico suo.
- Qui meditatur discordias diligit rixas, et qui exaltat ostium quærit ruinam.
- Qui perversi cordis est non inveniet bonum, et qui vertit linguam incidet in malum.
- Natus est stultus in ignominiam suam ; sed nec pater in fatuo lætabitur.
- Animus gaudens ætatem floridam facit ; spiritus tristis exsiccat ossa.
- Munera de sinu impius accipit, ut pervertat semitas judicii.
- In facie prudentis lucet sapientia ; oculi stultorum in finibus terræ.
- Ira patris filius stultus, et dolor matris quæ genuit eum.
- Non est bonum damnum inferre justo, nec percutere principem qui recta judicat.
- Qui moderatur sermones suos doctus et prudens est, et pretiosi spiritus vir eruditus.
- Stultus quoque, si tacuerit, sapiens reputabitur, et si compresserit labia sua, intelligens.

| Proverbs 17 Text (KJV)
|
- 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.
- 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.
