Proverbs 17:1-3
International Standard Version

More Words of Wisdom

17 Dry crumbs in peace[a] are better
than a full meal[b] with strife.

2 A prudent servant will rule in place of a disgraceful son
    and will share in the inheritance among brothers.

3 The crucible is for silver
    and the furnace for gold—
        but the Lord assays hearts.
