17

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
17
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
17
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
17
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
17
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
17
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
17
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
17
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
17
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
17
An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
17
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
17
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
17
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
17
Children"s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
17
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
17
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
17
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
17
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
17
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
17
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
17
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
17
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
17
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
17
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
17
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
