Proverbs 25:1-28

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>_.
