Proverbs 25:1--27:27

These [are] also proverbs
<04912>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

which the men
<0582>

of Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

copied out
<06275> (8689)_.

[It is] the glory
<03519>

of God
<0430>

to conceal
<05641> (8687)

a thing
<01697>_:

but the honour
<03519>

of kings
<04428>

[is] to search out
<02713> (8800)

a matter
<01697>_.

The heaven
<08064>

for height
<07312>_,

and the earth
<0776>

for depth
<06011>_,

and the heart
<03820>

of kings
<04428>

[is] unsearchable
<02714>_.

{is...: Heb. there is no searching}

Take away
<01898> (8800)

the dross
<05509>

from the silver
<03701>_,

and there shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

a vessel
<03627>

for the finer
<06884> (8802)_.

Take away
<01898> (8800)

the wicked
<07563>

[from] before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and his throne
<03678>

shall be established
<03559> (8735)

in righteousness
<06664>_.

Put not forth
<01921> (8691)

thyself in the presence
<06440>

of the king
<04428>_,

and stand
<05975> (8799)

not in the place
<04725>

of great
<01419>

[men]: {Put...: Heb. Set not out thy glory}

For better
<02896>

[it is] that it be said
<0559> (8800)

unto thee, Come up
<05927> (8798)

hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower
<08213> (8687)

in the presence
<06440>

of the prince
<05081>

whom thine eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8804)_.

Go not forth
<03318> (8799)

hastily
<04118>

to strive
<07378> (8800)_,

lest [thou know not] what to do
<06213> (8799)

in the end
<0319>

thereof, when thy neighbour
<07453>

hath put thee to shame
<03637> (8687)_.

Debate
<07378> (8798)

thy cause
<07379>

with thy neighbour
<07453>

[himself]; and discover
<01540> (8762)

not a secret
<05475>

to another
<0312>_:

{a secret...: or, the secret of}

Lest he that heareth
<08085> (8802)

[it] put thee to shame
<02616> (8762)_,

and thine infamy
<01681>

turn not away
<07725> (8799)_.

A word
<01697>

fitly
<0212> (8675) <0655>

spoken
<01696> (8803)

[is like] apples
<08598>

of gold
<02091>

in pictures
<04906>

of silver
<03701>_.

{fitly...: Heb. spoken upon his wheels}

[As] an earring
<05141>

of gold
<02091>_,

and an ornament
<02481>

of fine gold
<03800>_,

[so is] a wise
<02450>

reprover
<03198> (8688)

upon an obedient
<08085> (8802)

ear
<0241>_.

As the cold
<06793>

of snow
<07950>

in the time
<03117>

of harvest
<07105>_,

[so is] a faithful
<0539> (8737)

messenger
<06735>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him: for he refresheth
<07725> (8686)

the soul
<05315>

of his masters
<0113>_.

Whoso
<0376>

boasteth
<01984> (8693)

himself of a false
<08267>

gift
<04991>

[is like] clouds
<05387>

and wind
<07307>

without rain
<01653>_.

{of a...: Heb. in a gift of falsehood}

By long
<0753>

forbearing
<0639>

is a prince
<07101>

persuaded
<06601> (8792)_,

and a soft
<07390>

tongue
<03956>

breaketh
<07665> (8799)

the bone
<01634>_.

Hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

honey
<01706>_?

eat
<0398> (8798)

so much as is sufficient
<01767>

for thee, lest thou be filled
<07646> (8799)

therewith, and vomit
<06958> (8689)

it.

Withdraw
<03365> (8685)

thy foot
<07272>

from thy neighbour's
<07453>

house
<01004>_;

lest he be weary
<07646> (8799)

of thee, and [so] hate
<08130> (8804)

thee. {Withdraw...: or, Let thy foot be seldom in} {weary...: Heb. full of thee}

A man
<0376>

that beareth
<06030> (8802)

false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

against his neighbour
<07453>

[is] a maul
<04650>_,

and a sword
<02719>_,

and a sharp
<08150> (8802)

arrow
<02671>_.

Confidence
<04009>

in an unfaithful man
<0898> (8802)

in time
<03117>

of trouble
<06869>

[is like] a broken
<07465>

tooth
<08127>_,

and a foot
<07272>

out of joint
<04154>_.

[As] he that taketh away
<05710> (8688)

a garment
<0899>

in cold
<07135>

weather
<03117>_,

[and as] vinegar
<02558>

upon nitre
<05427>_,

so [is] he that singeth
<07891> (8802)

songs
<07892>

to an heavy
<07451>

heart
<03820>_.

If thine enemy
<08130> (8802)

be hungry
<07457>_,

give him bread
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8685)_;

and if he be thirsty
<06771>_,

give him water
<04325>

to drink
<08248> (8685)_:

For thou shalt heap
<02846> (8802)

coals of fire
<01513>

upon his head
<07218>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

shall reward
<07999> (8762)

thee.

The north
<06828>

wind
<07307>

driveth away
<02342> (8787)

rain
<01653>_:

so [doth] an angry
<02194> (8737)

countenance
<06440>

a backbiting
<05643>

tongue
<03956>_.

{driveth...: or, bringeth forth rain: so doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance}

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in the corner
<06438>

of the housetop
<01406>_,

than with a brawling
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

and in a wide
<02267>

house
<01004>_.

[As] cold
<07119>

waters
<04325>

to a thirsty
<05889>

soul
<05315>_,

so [is] good
<02896>

news
<08052>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_.

A righteous
<06662>

man falling down
<04131> (8801)

before
<06440>

the wicked
<07563>

[is as] a troubled
<07515> (8737)

fountain
<04599>_,

and a corrupt
<07843> (8716)

spring
<04726>_.

[It is] not good
<02896>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

much
<07235> (8687)

honey
<01706>_:

so [for men] to search
<02714>

their own glory
<03519>

[is not] glory
<03519>_.

He
<0376>

that [hath] no rule
<04623>

over his own spirit
<07307>

[is like] a city
<05892>

[that is] broken down
<06555> (8803)_,

[and] without walls
<02346>_.

As snow
<07950>

in summer
<07019>_,

and as rain
<04306>

in harvest
<07105>_,

so honour
<03519>

is not seemly
<05000>

for a fool
<03684>_.

As the bird
<06833>

by wandering
<05110> (8800)_,

as the swallow
<01866>

by flying
<05774> (8800)_,

so the curse
<07045>

causeless
<02600>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.

A whip
<07752>

for the horse
<05483>_,

a bridle
<04964>

for the ass
<02543>_,

and a rod
<07626>

for the fool's
<03684>

back
<01460>_.

Answer
<06030> (8799)

not a fool
<03684>

according to his folly
<0200>_,

lest thou also be like
<07737> (8799)

unto him.

Answer
<06030> (8798)

a fool
<03684>

according to his folly
<0200>_,

lest he be wise
<02450>

in his own conceit
<05869>_.

{conceit: Heb. eyes}

He that sendeth
<07971> (8802)

a message
<01697>

by the hand
<03027>

of a fool
<03684>

cutteth off
<07096> (8764)

the feet
<07272>_,

[and] drinketh
<08354> (8802)

damage
<02555>_.

{damage: or, violence}

The legs
<07785>

of the lame
<06455>

are not equal
<01809> (8804)_:

so [is] a parable
<04912>

in the mouth
<06310>

of fools
<03684>_.

{are...: Heb. are lifted up}

As he that bindeth
<06872> (8675) <06887> (8800)

a stone
<068>

in a sling
<04773>_,

so [is] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)

honour
<03519>

to a fool
<03684>_.

{bindeth...: or, putteth a precious stone in an heap of stones}

[As] a thorn
<02336>

goeth up
<05927> (8804)

into the hand
<03027>

of a drunkard
<07910>_,

so [is] a parable
<04912>

in the mouth
<06310>

of fools
<03684>_.

The great
<07227>

[God] that formed
<02342> (8789)

all [things] both rewardeth
<07936> (8802)

the fool
<03684>_,

and rewardeth
<07936> (8802)

transgressors
<05674> (8802)_.

{The great...: or, A great man grieveth all, and he hireth the fool, he hireth also transgressors}

As a dog
<03611>

returneth
<07725> (8804)

to his vomit
<06892>_,

[so] a fool
<03684>

returneth
<08138> (8802)

to his folly
<0200>_.

{returneth to his folly: Heb. iterateth his folly}

Seest
<07200> (8804)

thou a man
<0376>

wise
<02450>

in his own conceit
<05869>_?

[there is] more hope
<08615>

of a fool
<03684>

than of him.

The slothful
<06102>

[man] saith
<0559> (8804)_,

[There is] a lion
<07826>

in the way
<01870>_;

a lion
<0738>

[is] in the streets
<07339>_.

[As] the door
<01817>

turneth
<05437> (8735)

upon his hinges
<06735>_,

so [doth] the slothful
<06102>

upon his bed
<04296>_.

The slothful
<06102>

hideth
<02934> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

in [his] bosom
<06747>_;

it grieveth
<03811> (8738)

him to bring it again
<07725> (8687)

to his mouth
<06310>_.

{it grieveth...: or, he is weary}

The sluggard
<06102>

[is] wiser
<02450>

in his own conceit
<05869>

than seven men
<07651>

that can render
<07725> (8688)

a reason
<02940>_.

He that passeth by
<05674> (8802)_,

[and] meddleth
<05674> (8693)

with strife
<07379>

[belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh
<02388> (8688)

a dog
<03611>

by the ears
<0241>_.

{meddleth: or, is enraged}

As a mad
<03856> (8700)

[man] who casteth
<03384> (8802)

firebrands
<02131>_,

arrows
<02671>_,

and death
<04194>_,

{firebrands: Heb. flames, or, sparks}

So [is] the man
<0376>

[that] deceiveth
<07411> (8765)

his neighbour
<07453>_,

and saith
<0559> (8804)_,

Am not I in sport
<07832> (8764)_?

Where no
<0657>

wood
<06086>

is, [there] the fire
<0784>

goeth out
<03518> (8799)_:

so where [there is] no talebearer
<05372>_,

the strife
<04066>

ceaseth
<08367> (8799)_.

{Where no...: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}

[As] coals
<06352>

[are] to burning coals
<01513>_,

and wood
<06086>

to fire
<0784>_;

so [is] a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>

man
<0376>

to kindle
<02787> (8771)

strife
<07379>_.

The words
<01697>

of a talebearer
<05372>

[are] as wounds
<03859> (8693)_,

and they go down
<03381> (8804)

into the innermost parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{innermost...: Heb. chambers}

Burning
<01814> (8801)

lips
<08193>

and a wicked
<07451>

heart
<03820>

[are like] a potsherd
<02789>

covered
<06823> (8794)

with silver
<03701>

dross
<05509>_.

He that hateth
<08130> (8802)

dissembleth
<05234> (8735)

with his lips
<08193>_,

and layeth up
<07896> (8799)

deceit
<04820>

within
<07130>

him; {dissembleth: or, is known}

When he speaketh
<06963>

fair
<02603> (8762)_,

believe
<0539> (8686)

him not: for [there are] seven
<07651>

abominations
<08441>

in his heart
<03820>_.

{speaketh...: Heb. maketh his voice gracious}

[Whose] hatred
<08135>

is covered
<03680> (8691)

by deceit
<04860>_,

his wickedness
<07451>

shall be shewed
<01540> (8735)

before the [whole] congregation
<06951>_.

{by...: or, in secret}

Whoso diggeth
<03738> (8802)

a pit
<07845>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

therein: and he that rolleth
<01556> (8802)

a stone
<068>_,

it will return
<07725> (8799)

upon him.

A lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>

hateth
<08130> (8799)

[those that are] afflicted
<01790>

by it; and a flattering
<02509>

mouth
<06310>

worketh
<06213> (8799)

ruin
<04072>_.

Boast
<01984> (8691)

not thyself of to morrow
<04279>_;

for thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not what a day
<03117>

may bring forth
<03205> (8799)_.

{to...: Heb. to morrow day}

Let another man
<02114> (8801)

praise
<01984> (8762)

thee, and not thine own mouth
<06310>_;

a stranger
<05237>_,

and not thine own lips
<08193>_.

A stone
<068>

[is] heavy
<03514>_,

and the sand
<02344>

weighty
<05192>_;

but a fool's
<0191>

wrath
<03708>

[is] heavier
<03515>

than them both
<08147>_.

{heavy: Heb. heaviness}

Wrath
<02534>

[is] cruel
<0395>_,

and anger
<0639>

[is] outrageous
<07858>_;

but who [is] able to stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

envy
<07068>_?

{Wrath...: Heb. Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing} {envy: or, jealousy?}

Open
<01540> (8794)

rebuke
<08433>

[is] better
<02896>

than secret
<05641> (8794)

love
<0160>_.

Faithful
<0539> (8737)

[are] the wounds
<06482>

of a friend
<0157> (8802)_;

but the kisses
<05390>

of an enemy
<08130> (8802)

[are] deceitful
<06280> (8737)_.

{deceitful: or, earnest, or, frequent}

The full
<07649>

soul
<05315>

loatheth
<0947> (8799)

an honeycomb
<05317>_;

but to the hungry
<07457>

soul
<05315>

every bitter thing
<04751>

is sweet
<04966>_.

{loatheth: Heb. treadeth under foot}

As a bird
<06833>

that wandereth
<05074> (8802)

from her nest
<07064>_,

so [is] a man
<0376>

that wandereth
<05074> (8802)

from his place
<04725>_.

Ointment
<08081>

and perfume
<07004>

rejoice
<08055> (8762)

the heart
<03820>_:

so [doth] the sweetness
<04986>

of a man's friend
<07453>

by hearty
<05315>

counsel
<06098>_.

{by...: Heb. from the counsel of the soul}

Thine own friend
<07453>_,

and thy father's
<01>

friend
<07453>_,

forsake
<05800> (8799)

not; neither go
<0935> (8799)

into thy brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>

in the day
<03117>

of thy calamity
<0343>_:

[for] better
<02896>

[is] a neighbour
<07934>

[that is] near
<07138>

than a brother
<0251>

far off
<07350>_.

My son
<01121>_,

be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and make my heart
<03820>

glad
<08055> (8761)_,

that I may answer
<07725> (8686) <01697>

him that reproacheth
<02778> (8802)

me.

A prudent
<06175>

[man] foreseeth
<07200> (8804)

the evil
<07451>_,

[and] hideth
<05641> (8738)

himself; [but] the simple
<06612>

pass on
<05674> (8804)_,

[and] are punished
<06064> (8738)_.

Take
<03947> (8798)

his garment
<0899>

that is surety
<06148> (8804)

for a stranger
<02114> (8801)_,

and take a pledge
<02254> (8798)

of him for a strange woman
<05237>_.

He that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

his friend
<07453>

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

rising early
<07925> (8687)

in the morning
<01242>_,

it shall be counted
<02803> (8735)

a curse
<07045>

to him.

A continual
<02956> (8802)

dropping
<01812>

in a very rainy
<05464>

day
<03117>

and a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

are alike
<07737> (8739)_.

Whosoever hideth
<06845> (8802)

her hideth
<06845> (8804)

the wind
<07307>_,

and the ointment
<08081>

of his right hand
<03225>_,

[which] bewrayeth
<07121> (8799)

[itself].

Iron
<01270>

sharpeneth
<02300> (8799)

iron
<01270>_;

so a man
<0376>

sharpeneth
<02300> (8686)

the countenance
<06440>

of his friend
<07453>_.

Whoso keepeth
<05341> (8802)

the fig tree
<08384>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof: so he that waiteth
<08104> (8802)

on his master
<0113>

shall be honoured
<03513> (8792)_.

As in water
<04325>

face
<06440>

[answereth] to face
<06440>_,

so the heart
<03820>

of man
<0120>

to man
<0120>_.

Hell
<07585>

and destruction
<011> (8675) <010>

are never
<03808>

full
<07646> (8799)_;

so the eyes
<05869>

of man
<0120>

are never satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

{never: Heb. not}

[As] the fining pot
<04715>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the furnace
<03564>

for gold
<02091>_;

so [is] a man
<0376>

to
<06310>

his praise
<04110>_.

Though thou shouldest bray
<03806> (8799)

a fool
<0191>

in a mortar
<04388>

among
<08432>

wheat
<07383>

with a pestle
<05940>_,

[yet] will not his foolishness
<0200>

depart
<05493> (8799)

from him.

Be thou diligent
<03045> (8799)

to know
<03045> (8800)

the state
<06440>

of thy flocks
<06629>_,

[and] look
<07896> (8798)

well
<03820>

to thy herds
<05739>_.

{look...: Heb. set thy heart}

For riches
<02633>

[are] not for ever
<05769>_:

and doth the crown
<05145>

[endure] to every
<01755>

generation
<01755>_?

{riches: Heb. strength} {to...: Heb. to generation and generation?}

The hay
<02682>

appeareth
<01540> (8804)_,

and the tender grass
<01877>

sheweth
<07200> (8738)

itself, and herbs
<06212>

of the mountains
<02022>

are gathered
<0622> (8738)_.

The lambs
<03532>

[are] for thy clothing
<03830>_,

and the goats
<06260>

[are] the price
<04242>

of the field
<07704>_.

And [thou shalt have] goats
<05795>_'

milk
<02461>

enough
<01767>

for thy food
<03899>_,

for the food
<03899>

of thy household
<01004>_,

and [for] the maintenance
<02416>

for thy maidens
<05291>_.

{maintenance: Heb. life}
