violent behaviour. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, but the Lord is the tester of hearts. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Whoever makes sport of the poor puts shame on his Maker; and he who is glad because of trouble will not go free from punishment. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Children&#8217;s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> An offering of money is like a stone of great price in the eyes of him who has it: wherever he goes, he does well. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense? <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
