Proverbs 17:1-3

New International Reader's Version

17 It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peace and quiet
    than to eat a big dinner in a house full of fighting.

² A wise servant will rule over a shameful child.
    He will be given part of the property as if he were a family member.

³ Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold.
    But the Lord tests our hearts.
