Proverbs 17
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] a dry
<02720>
<02720>
morsel
<06595>_,
<06595>_,
and quietness
<07962>
<07962>
therewith, than an house
<01004>
<01004>
full
<04392>
<04392>
of sacrifices
<02077>
<02077>
[with] strife
<07379>_.
{sacrifices: or, good cheer}<07379>_.
The fining pot
<04715>
<04715>
[is] for silver
<03701>_,
<03701>_,
and the furnace
<03564>
<03564>
for gold
<02091>_:
<02091>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
the hearts
<03826>_.
<03826>_.
Children's
<01121>
<01121>
children
<01121>
<01121>
[are] the crown
<05850>
<05850>
of old men
<02205>_;
<02205>_;
and the glory
<08597>
<08597>
of children
<01121>
<01121>
[are] their fathers
<01>_.
<01>_.
Excellent
<03499>
<03499>
speech
<08193>
<08193>
becometh
<05000>
<05000>
not a fool
<05036>_:
<05036>_:
much less do lying
<08267>
<08267>
lips
<08193>
<08193>
a prince
<05081>_.
{Excellent...: Heb. A lip of excellency} {lying...: Heb. a lip of lying}<05081>_.
A gift
<07810>
<07810>
[is as] a precious
<02580>
<02580>
stone
<068>
<068>
in the eyes
<05869>
<05869>
of him that hath
<01167>
{a precious...: Heb. a stone of grace}<01167>
a transgression
<06588>
<06588>
love
<0160>_;
<0160>_;
a matter
<01697>
<01697>
[very] friends
<0441>_.
{seeketh: or, procureth}<0441>_.
A reproof
<01606>
<01606>
than an hundred
<03967>
<03967>
into a fool
<03684>_.
{entereth...: or, aweth more a wise man, than to strike a fool an hundred times}<03684>_.
Let a bear
<01677>
<01677>
robbed
<07909>
<07909>
a man
<0376>_,
<0376>_,
rather than
<0408>
<0408>
a fool
<03684>
<03684>
in his folly
<0200>_.
<0200>_.
the wicked
<07563>_,
<07563>_,
the just
<06662>_,
<06662>_,
even they both
<08147>
<08147>
[are] abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_.
<03068>_.
Wherefore [is there] a price
<04242>
<04242>
in the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of a fool
<03684>
<03684>
wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
seeing [he hath] no heart
<03820>
[to it]?<03820>
A man
<0120>
<0120>
void
<02638>
<02638>
of understanding
<03820>
<03820>
hands
<03709>_,
<03709>_,
surety
<06161>
<06161>
in the presence
<06440>
<06440>
of his friend
<07453>_.
{understanding: Heb. heart}<07453>_.
He that hath a froward
<06141>
<06141>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
no good
<02896>_:
<02896>_:
tongue
<03956>
<03956>
into mischief
<07451>_.
{He that hath a froward...: Heb. The froward of heart}<07451>_.
A merry
<08056>
<08056>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
[like] a medicine
<01456>_:
<01456>_:
but a broken
<05218>
<05218>
spirit
<07307>
<07307>
the bones
<01634>_.
{like: or, to}<01634>_.
Wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
but the eyes
<05869>
<05869>
of a fool
<03684>
<03684>
[are] in the ends
<07097>
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_.
<0776>_.
