(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)
1 Better is a drie morsell, and quietnesse therewith; then an house full of sacrifices with strife.
3 The fining pot is for siluer, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giueth heed to false lips: and a liar giueth eare to a naughtie tongue.
6 Childrens children are the crowne of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becommeth not a foole: much lesse doe lying lippes a prince.
10 A reproofe entreth more into a wise man, then an hundred stripes into a foole.
11 An euill man seeketh onely rebellion; therefore a cruell messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a beare robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather then a foole in his folly.
13 Whoso rewardeth euill for good, euill shall not depart from his house.
16 Wherfore is there a price in the hand of a foole to get wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17 A friend loueth at all times, and a brother is borne for aduersitie.
18 A man void of vnderstanding striketh hands, and becommeth suretie in the presence of his friend.
19 He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction.
21 He that begetteth a foole, doth it to his sorrow: and the father of a foole hath no ioy.
22 A merrie heart doth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosome, to peruert the wayes of iudgement.
25 A foolish sonne is a griefe to his father, & bitternes to her that bare him.
26 Also to punish the iust is not good, nor to strike princes for equitie.
27 He that hath knowledge, spareth his words: and a man of vnderstanding is of an excellent spirit.

Wonderful this verse! Peter the apostle said" that the trial of your faith more precious than gold that perish, may be found unto praise, honor and glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ. Let the trial we go through yield praise honor and glory to God. Amen!

When you find out something about someone, that may damage their reputation, then it is important not to publish that matter. Gossip separates close friends, and God hates sowing discord among the brothers. Love covers a multitude of sins, and Jesus said if you catch your brother in a sin, go to him, and rebuke him. If he repents, then forgive him. We stand in the defense of the gospel, and when we do discipline this way, the body of Christ is strengthened. Solomon was the wisest man that lived, and the Holy Spirit used him to pen these words of wisdom for our edification.

This is a great chapter of the Bible. It tells the way of wisdom, and folly. Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. It also says that a fool is wise, when he knows when to shut his mouth. If any man lacks wisdom let him ask of God. He must ask in faith, and not doubting.

Will you be a friend to someone, who is in need of a friend today? A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. My parents had six children, and the last two where boys. My mom said the first four kids, two boys, and two girls where to be the only children. Well God had other plans, and I remember this verse always. God knows the end, from the beginning, and He knew my parents needed two extra friends. Thank God for your children, for they are your friends, and they will love you always. When adversity comes, they will be there to help you. God does not make mistakes, and He knows just how many children you need. When we get to heaven, then will we be able to rejoice with all the friends that God blessed us to have.

This is a beautiful verse; and so true. The refining fire of God is a purifying fire, removing the excesses of our lifestyles, and burning off the weaknesses in our character.
