Proverbs 25
New Revised Standard Version Help
25These are other proverbs of Solomon that the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah copied.H4912H8010H582H2396H4428H3063H6275 2It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.H3519H430H5641H1697H3519H4428H2713H1697 3Like the heavens for height, like the earth for depth, so the mind of kings is unsearchable.H8064H7312H776H6011H3820H4428H2714 4Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel;H1898H5509H3701H3318H3627H6884 5take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness.H1898H7563H6440H4428H3678H3559H6664 6Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence or stand in the place of the great;H1921H6440H4428H5975H4725H1419 7for it is better to be told, "Come up here," than to be put lower in the presence of a noble. What your eyes have seenH2896H559H5927H8213H6440H5081H5869H7200 8do not hastily bring into court; for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame?H3318H4118H7378H6213H319H7453H3637 9Argue your case with your neighbor directly, and do not disclose another's secret;H7378H7379H7453H1540H5475H312 10or else someone who hears you will bring shame upon you, and your ill repute will have no end.H8085H2616H1681H7725 11A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.H1697H212H655H1696H8598H2091H4906H3701 12Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise rebuke to a listening ear.H5141H2091H2481H3800H2450H3198H8085H241 13Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest are faithful messengers to those who send them; they refresh the spirit of their masters.H6793H7950H3117H7105H539H6735H7971H7725H5315H113 14Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts of a gift never given.H376H1984H8267H4991H5387H7307H1653 15With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue can break bones.H753H639H7101H6601H7390H3956H7665H1634 16If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, or else, having too much, you will vomit it.H4672H1706H398H1767H7646H6958 17Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, otherwise the neighbor will become weary of you and hate you.H3365H7272H7453H1004H7646H8130 18Like a war club, a sword, or a sharp arrow is one who bears false witness against a neighbor.H376H6030H8267H5707H7453H4650H2719H8150H2671 19Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is trust in a faithless person in time of trouble.H4009H898H3117H6869H7465H8127H7272H4154 20Like vinegar on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. Like a moth in clothing or a worm in wood, sorrow gnaws at the human heart.H5710H899H7135H3117H2558H5427H7891H7892H7451H3820 21If your enemies are hungry, give them bread to eat; and if they are thirsty, give them water to drink;H8130H7457H3899H398H6771H4325H8248 22for you will heap coals of fire on their heads, and the LORD will reward you.H2846H1513H7218H3068H7999 23The north wind produces rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.H6828H7307H2342H1653H2194H6440H5643H3956 24It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a contentious wife.H2896H3427H6438H1406H4079H4066H802H2267H1004 25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.H7119H4325H5889H5315H2896H8052H4801H776 26Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain are the righteous who give way before the wicked.H6662H4131H6440H7563H7515H4599H7843H4726 27It is not good to eat much honey, or to seek honor on top of honor.H2896H398H7235H1706H2714H3519H3519 28Like a city breached, without walls, is one who lacks self-control.H376H4623H7307H5892H6555H2346
