Proverbs 17:2

King James Version - American Edition

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

See the chapter Copy

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

The king's favor is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Better is a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
