17:1 設筵滿屋，大家相爭，不如有塊乾餅，大家相安。
17:2 僕人辦事聰明，必管轄貽羞之子，又在眾子中同分產業。
17:3 鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金；惟有耶和華熬煉人心。
17:4 行惡的，留心聽奸詐之言；說謊的，側耳聽邪惡之語。
17:5 戲笑窮人的，是辱沒造他的主；幸災樂禍的，必不免受罰。
17:6 子孫為老人的冠冕；父親是兒女的榮耀。
17:7 愚頑人說美言本不相宜，何況君王說謊話呢？
17:8 賄賂在餽送的人眼中看為寶玉，隨處運動都得順利。
17:9 遮掩人過的，尋求人愛；屢次挑錯的，離間密友。
17:10 一句責備話深入聰明人的心，強如責打愚昧人一百下。
默想: 人的心，是很難測試的。對於我們而言，我們只能「日久見人心」。甚至，有時候，我們始終無法知道一個人心裡真正的動機是什麼。
什麼最能看出我們這個人呢？我想是苦難與誘惑。一個人沒有經歷苦難與誘惑，我們很難知道他是否會跌倒。
事實上，上帝常常透過苦難來使我們被熬煉。詩人說「我受苦是與我有益，為要使我學習你的律例。」(詩一一九71)在受苦中，我們能看到一個人是用什麼態度來面對苦難。
另外，試探、引誘也是讓我們看出自己是否是真正的倚靠上帝。當那穌要出來傳道的時候，他也曾受試探，但是我們的主沒有犯罪，這正是給我留下榜樣。叫我們凡事也可以學習他的樣式。
題目: 根據箴言17:3，耶和華可能使用那些方法來熬煉我們的心志呢？

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
