Proverbs 25
New International Version Help
25These are more proverbs of Solomon, copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:H4912H8010H582H2396H4428H3063H6275 2It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.H3519H430H5641H1697H3519H4428H2713H1697 3As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.H8064H7312H776H6011H3820H4428H2714 4Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith;H1898H5509H3701H3318H3627H6884 5remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.H1898H7563H6440H4428H3678H3559H6664 6Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim a place among great men;H1921H6440H4428H5975H4725H1419 7it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here," than for him to humiliate you before a nobleman. What you have seen with your eyesH2896H559H5927H8213H6440H5081H5869H7200 8do not bring hastily to court, for what will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame?H3318H4118H7378H6213H319H7453H3637 9If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence,H7378H7379H7453H1540H5475H312 10or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation.H8085H2616H1681H7725 11A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.H1697H212H655H1696H8598H2091H4906H3701 12Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man's rebuke to a listening ear.H5141H2091H2481H3800H2450H3198H8085H241 13Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.H6793H7950H3117H7105H539H6735H7971H7725H5315H113 14Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give.H376H1984H8267H4991H5387H7307H1653 15Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.H753H639H7101H6601H7390H3956H7665H1634 16If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit.H4672H1706H398H1767H7646H6958 17Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house—too much of you, and he will hate you.H3365H7272H7453H1004H7646H8130 18Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor.H376H6030H8267H5707H7453H4650H2719H8150H2671 19Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.H4009H898H3117H6869H7465H8127H7272H4154 20Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.H5710H899H7135H3117H2558H5427H7891H7892H7451H3820 21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.H8130H7457H3899H398H6771H4325H8248 22In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.H2846H1513H7218H3068H7999 23As a north wind brings rain, so a sly tongue brings angry looks.H6828H7307H2342H1653H2194H6440H5643H3956 24Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.H2896H3427H6438H1406H4079H4066H802H2267H1004 25Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.H7119H4325H5889H5315H2896H8052H4801H776 26Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.H6662H4131H6440H7563H7515H4599H7843H4726 27It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.H2896H398H7235H1706H2714H3519H3519 28Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.H376H4623H7307H5892H6555H2346
