Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Proverbs 17

Deli

A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. [Prov 12:25; 15:13, 15]

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.

He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper). [James 1:19]

Even a [callous, arrogant] fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips he is regarded as sensible (prudent, discreet) and a man of understanding.

Better is a dry morsel [of food served] with quietness and peace Than a house full of feasting [served] with strife and contention.

The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes]; Therefore abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous Are both repulsive to the LORD. [Ex 23:7; Prov 24:24; Is 5:23]
