1 Better is a dry morsel with joy, than an house full of sacrifices with chiding, (or with arguments).
2 A wise servant shall be lord of fond sons; and he shall part heritage among brethren. (A wise servant shall be lord over his master's foolish sons and daughters; and in time he shall have part of the inheritance, along with the brothers and the sisters.)
3 As silver is proved by fire, and gold is proved by a chimney, so the Lord proveth hearts.
4 An evil man obeyeth to a wicked tongue; and a false man obeyeth to false lips. (An evil person obeyeth a wicked tongue; and a liar obeyeth lies.)
5 He that despiseth a poor man, reproveth his maker; and he that is glad in the falling of another man, shall not be unpunished. (He who despiseth the poor, rebuketh his Maker; and he who is glad in the falling of another person, shall not go unpunished.)
6 The crown of eld men is the sons of sons; and the glory of sons is the fathers of them.
