Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 025

 

025:001These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah
king of Judah copied out.

 

025:002It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of
kings is to search out a matter.

 

025:003The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart
of kings is unsearchable.

 

025:004Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come
forth a vessel for the finer.

 

025:005Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne
shall be established in righteousness.

 

025:006Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand
not in the place of great men:

 

025:007For 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.

 

025:008Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do
in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

 

025:009Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not
a secret to another:

 

025:010Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy
turn not away.

 

025:011A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of
silver.

 

025:012As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a
wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

 

025:013As 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.

 

025:014Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind
without rain.

 

025:015By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue
breaketh the bone.

 

025:016Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee,
lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

 

025:017Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary
of thee, and so hate thee.

 

025:018A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a
maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

 

025:019Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a
broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

 

025:020As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as
vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy
heart.

 

025:021If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be
thirsty, give him water to drink:

 

025:022For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD
shall reward thee.

 

025:023The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance
a backbiting tongue.

 

025:024It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with
a brawling woman and in a wide house.

 

025:025As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far
country.

 

025:026A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a
troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

 

025:027It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their
own glory is not glory.

 

025:028He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that
is broken down, and without walls.
