Proverbs 17:1-6

Better a bite of dry bread ⌞eaten⌟ in peace than a family feast filled with strife. A wise slave will become master over a son who acts shamefully, and he will share the inheritance with the brothers. The crucible is for refining silver and the smelter for gold, but the one who purifies hearts ⌞by fire⌟ is the LORD. An evildoer pays attention to wicked lips. A liar opens his ears to a slanderous tongue. Whoever makes fun of a poor person insults his maker. Whoever is happy ⌞to see someone’s⌟ distress will not escape punishment. Grandchildren are the crown of grandparents, and parents are the glory of their children.
