Proverbs 17:3, 9, 17-18, 24, 27-28
Proverbs 17:3 MSG
As silver in a crucible and gold in a pan, so our lives are refined by GOD.
Proverbs 17:9 MSG
Overlook an offense and bond a friendship; fasten on to a slight and—good-bye, friend!
Proverbs 17:17-18 MSG
Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble. It’s stupid to try to get something for nothing, or run up huge bills you can never pay.
Proverbs 17:24 MSG
The perceptive find wisdom in their own front yard; fools look for it everywhere but right here.
Proverbs 17:27-28 MSG
The one who knows much says little; an understanding person remains calm. Even dunces who keep quiet are thought to be wise; as long as they keep their mouths shut, they’re smart.
