Proverbs 17:2 (WEB)
Context Reading
1Better is a dry morsel with quietness,than a house full of feasting with strife. 2A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame,and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers. 3The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,but Yahweh tests the hearts. 4An evildoer heeds wicked lips.A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
