Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.

Solomon Teaches about Good Behavior

 
1 
Better is a dry morsel with quietness,than a house full of feasting with strife. +
2 
A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame,and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers. +
3 
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,but the LORD tests the hearts. +
4 
An evildoer heeds wicked lips.A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue. +
5 
Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished. +
6 
Children's children are the crown of old men;the glory of children are their parents. +
7 
Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool,much less do lying lips fit a prince. +
8 
A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;wherever he turns, he prospers. +
9 
He who covers an offense promotes love;but he who repeats a matter separates best friends. +
10 
A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understandingthan a hundred lashes into a fool. +
11 
An evil man seeks only rebellion;therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. +
12 
Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,rather than a fool in his folly. +
13 
Whoever rewards evil for good,evil shall not depart from his house. +
14 
The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam,therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out. +
15 
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous,both of them alike are an abomination to The LORD. +
16 
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,since he has no understanding? +
17 
A friend loves at all times;and a brother is born for adversity. +
18 
A man void of understanding strikes hands,and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor. +
19 
He who loves disobedience loves strife.One who builds a high gate seeks destruction. +
20 
One who has a perverse heart doesn't find prosperity,and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble. +
21 
He who becomes the father of a fool grieves.The father of a fool has no joy. +
22 
A cheerful heart makes good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. +
23 
A wicked man receives a bribe in secret,to pervert the ways of justice. +
24 
Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding,but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth. +
25 
A foolish son brings grief to his father,and bitterness to her who bore him. +
26 
Also to punish the righteous is not good,nor to flog officials for their integrity. +
27 
He who spares his words has knowledge.He who is even tempered is a man of understanding. +
28 
Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
