20:016:032 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
20:016:033 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
20:017:001 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
20:017:002 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
20:017:003 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
20:017:004 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
20:017:005 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
20:017:006 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
20:017:007 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
20:017:008 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
