Amplified Bible Help
25THESE ARE also the proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:H4912H8010H582H2396H4428H3063H6275 2It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing.H3519H430H5641H1697H3519H4428H2713H1697 3As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, so the hearts {and} minds of kings are unsearchable.H8064H7312H776H6011H3820H4428H2714 4Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth [the material for] a vessel for the silversmith [to work up].H1898H5509H3701H3318H3627H6884 5Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).H1898H7563H6440H4428H3678H3559H6664 6Be not forward (self-assertive and boastfully ambitious) in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men;H1921H6440H4428H5975H4725H1419 7For better it is that it should be said to you, Come up here, than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whose eyes have seen you.H2896H559H5927H8213H6440H5081H5869H7200 8Rush not forth soon to quarrel [before magistrates or elsewhere], lest you know not what to do in the end when your neighbor has put you to shame.H3318H4118H7378H6213H319H7453H3637 9Argue your cause with your neighbor himself; discover not {and} disclose not another's secret,H7378H7379H7453H1540H5475H312 10Lest he who hears you revile you {and} bring shame upon you and your ill repute have no end.H8085H2616H1681H7725 11A word fitly spoken {and} in due season is like apples of gold in settings of silver.H1697H212H655H1696H8598H2091H4906H3701 12Like an earring {or} nose ring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise reprover to an ear that listens {and} obeys.H5141H2091H2481H3800H2450H3198H8085H241 13Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the life of his masters.H6793H7950H3117H7105H539H6735H7971H7725H5315H113 14Whoever falsely boasts of gifts [he does not give] is like clouds and wind without rain.H376H1984H8267H4991H5387H7307H1653 15By long forbearance {and} calmness of spirit a judge {or} ruler is persuaded, and soft speech breaks down the most bonelike resistance.H753H639H7101H6601H7390H3956H7665H1634 16Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as is sufficient for you, lest, being filled with it, you vomit it.H4672H1706H398H1767H7646H6958 17Let your foot seldom be in your neighbor's house, lest he become tired of you and hate you.H3365H7272H7453H1004H7646H8130 18A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a heavy sledgehammer and a sword and a sharp arrow.H376H6030H8267H5707H7453H4650H2719H8150H2671 19Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint.H4009H898H3117H6869H7465H8127H7272H4154 20He who sings songs to a heavy heart is like him who lays off a garment in cold weather {and} like vinegar upon soda.H5710H899H7135H3117H2558H5427H7891H7892H7451H3820 21If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;H8130H7457H3899H398H6771H4325H8248 22For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you.H2846H1513H7218H3068H7999 23The north wind brings forth rain; so does a backbiting tongue bring forth an angry countenance.H6828H7307H2342H1653H2194H6440H5643H3956 24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a disagreeing, quarrelsome, {and} scolding woman.H2896H3427H6438H1406H4079H4066H802H2267H1004 25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far [home] country.H7119H4325H5889H5315H2896H8052H4801H776 26Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, {and} compromises his integrity before the wicked.H6662H4131H6440H7563H7515H4599H7843H4726 27It is not good to eat much honey; so for men to seek glory, their own glory, causes suffering {and} is not glory.H2896H398H7235H1706H2714H3519H3519 28He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls.H376H4623H7307H5892H6555H2346
