Proverb Chapter 17

Prov 17

Proverb of Solomon continues...

1 A bit/piece of bread is good for your household with tranquility rather than that which is full of slaughtered-animals with swords and contention.

2 if other are ashamed, slaves that act intelligently shall rule over sons and divide inheritance among their brethren:

3 As melting-pot is, to silver-metal, and as furnace is, to gold; Jehovah will be testing/trying hearts. (Prov 27:21)

4 those who do evil, have given ears to existing falsehood and exert themselves on things from lips and tongues.

5 Mockers will exonerate the Poor when he is doing joyful things, but deal spitefully with him when he is in misfortune.

6 Sons are like beautiful ornaments around their father, children' children are crown of the aged men.

7 anything is suitable from the lips of a villain/opposer (anti-hero: nabal), but anything excess in the lips of a noble volunteers/princes will be unto falsehood:

8 it is by grace, for someone to still act intelligently in the eyes of a master/owner, who turn (his face) to a bribe of (gem)stones.

9 If you seek after affectionate-love, even (Adamic) rebellion/revolt will be covered up. - But those who duplicate/transmute matters, will separate champions/dukes.

10 A fool will understand by a scolding/rebuke, but he will descend down hundred times, if he is slain.

11 Cruel Angels will be sent to you, if you seek after evil by rebellion.

12 A foolish in his foolishness is nothing other than a man who meets with a bereaved (shakkul shakul) bear/wild-beast. (he got no time to think)

13 If you return evil for good, evil will be in touch with your household:

14 in the face of contention, like water that is opened/freed, a quarrel/discord will break forth, which they should have abandoned the first time.

15 The one who justifies the wicked, and the one who condemns the Righteous, even both are abomination to Jehovah.

16 the price/cost of getting wisdom, by a fool is in his hand and mind:

17 A brother is born to be loved at all times but that of a friend is when he is in trouble:

18 even though Adam was destitute/lacking in his heart in the face of his neighbors, as he mingled with them every eve of sabbath (arubah:Friday); yet they were still clapping the palm of their hands for him. 

19 those who love unleavened (bread), love to be lofty/be high. But those that seek after rebellion/revolt, there will be a fracture/breach at their gate:

20 Anyone who fall down under distorted tongue could turn around the evil, by finding out what is good for his mind/heart.

21 even a father of a villain (anti-hero-nabal) will rejoice, but the one who begets a fool will be in depression.

22 By the SPIRIT, a merry/joyful heart is a cure that will make you well, but a broken/afflicted one will dry you up unto skeleton:

23 A wicked who receives bribe from the one of his bosom will tilt to the path of his verdict; 

24 The face of the one who understand is on wisdom but the eyes of the foolish is towards the uttermost end of the earth (haughty):

25 A foolish son is more or less born unto vexation and bitterness/deep pain of his father.

26 it is good for the noble volunteers/princes to be righteous with right penalty on someone who slay another person.

27 by the SPIRIT of insight/discernment, the utterances of a man will cool-down things, because he will restrain some of the valuable/precious knowledge he knows.

28 Even a fool who seal/close his lips will be counted/plaited as wise, for he will devise in silence to understand things.
