Certainly! Proverbs 17 in the King James Version of the Bible contains various wise sayings. Here’s a summary of some key verses:
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. It’s better to have a simple meal in peace than a lavish feast accompanied by conflict.
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. A wise servant may have more influence than a foolish son, and they may even share in the family inheritance.
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. Just as silver and gold are refined, the Lord tests our hearts to reveal our true character.
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. Disrespecting the poor dishonors God, and rejoicing in others’ misfortune has consequences.
Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Grandchildren bring joy to the elderly, and a father’s legacy is a source of pride for children.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. A cheerful heart is healing, while a discouraged spirit can be detrimental.
These verses emphasize wisdom, kindness, and the importance of our inner character.
