Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife.

A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren.
3
As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.
4
A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.
5
He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.
6
Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.
7
Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man.
8
Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.
9
He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide separates friends and kindred.
10
A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.
