Proverbs 17:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

17 Better is a dry morsel with quiet
    than a house full of feasting with strife.
² A slave who deals wisely will rule over a child who acts shamefully,
    and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
³ The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    but the Lord tests the heart.
