PR-25:1 These [are] also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of
Hezekiah king
of Judah copied out.
PR-25:2 [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the
honour of kings
[is] to search out a matter.
PR-25:3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the
heart of
kings [is] unsearchable.
PR-25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall
come forth a
vessel for the finer.
PR-25:5 Take away the wicked [from] before the king, and his
throne shall be
established in righteousness.
PR-25:6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and
stand not in
the place of great [men]:
PR-25:7 For better [it is] that it be said unto thee, Come up
hither; than
that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince
whom thine eyes
have seen.
PR-25:8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not]
what to do in
the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
PR-25:9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour [himself]; and
discover not a
secret to another:
PR-25:10 Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thine
infamy turn
not away.
PR-25:11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in
pictures of silver.
PR-25:12 [As] an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
[so is] a
wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
PR-25:13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, [so is] a
faithful
messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of
his masters.
PR-25:14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like]
clouds and wind
without rain.
PR-25:15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft
tongue breaketh
the bone.
PR-25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient
for thee, lest
thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
PR-25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he
be weary of
thee, and [so] hate thee.
PR-25:18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour
[is] a maul,
and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
PR-25:19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble [is
like] a
broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
PR-25:20 [As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather,
[and as] vinegar
upon nitre, so [is] he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
PR-25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and
if he be
thirsty, give him water to drink:
PR-25:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and
the LORD shall
reward thee.
PR-25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry
countenance a
backbiting tongue.
PR-25:24 [It is] better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
than with a
brawling woman and in a wide house.
PR-25:25 [As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news
from a far
country.
PR-25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as]
a troubled
fountain, and a corrupt spring.
PR-25:27 [It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to
search their own
glory [is not] glory.
PR-25:28 He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a
city [that
is] broken down, [and] without walls.
