Further Wise Sayings of Solomon
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 25
|
|
1. These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:
|
|
|
|
2. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
|
|
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
|
|
|
|
3. As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
|
|
So the heart of kings is unsearchable.
|
|
|
|
4. Take away the dross from silver,
|
|
And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.
|
|
|
|
5. Take away the wicked from before the king,
|
|
And his throne will be established in righteousness.
|
|
|
|
6. Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
|
|
And do not stand in the place of the great;
|
|
|
|
7. For it is better that he say to you,
|
|
"Come up here,"
|
|
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
|
|
Whom your eyes have seen.
|
|
|
|
8. Do not go hastily to court;
|
|
For what will you do in the end,
|
|
When your neighbor has put you to shame?
|
|
|
|
9. Debate your case with your neighbor,
|
|
And do not disclose the secret to another;
|
|
|
|
10. Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
|
|
And your reputation be ruined.
|
|
|
|
11. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
|
|
In settings of silver.
|
|
|
|
12. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
|
|
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
|
|
|
|
13. Like the cold of snow in time of harvest
|
|
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
|
|
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
|
|
|
|
14. Whoever falsely boasts of giving
|
|
Is like clouds and wind without rain.
|
|
|
|
15. By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
|
|
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
|
|
|
|
16. Have you found honey?
|
|
Eat only as much as you need,
|
|
Lest you be filled with it and vomit.
|
|
|
|
17. Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house,
|
|
Lest he become weary of you and hate you.
|
|
|
|
18. A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
|
|
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.
|
|
|
|
19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
|
|
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
|
|
|
|
20. Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
|
|
And like vinegar on soda,
|
|
Is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
|
|
|
|
21. If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
|
|
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
|
|
|
|
22. For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,
|
|
And the Lord will reward you.
|
|
|
|
23. The north wind brings forth rain,
|
|
And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
|
|
|
|
24. It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
|
|
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
|
|
|
|
25. As cold water to a weary soul,
|
|
So is good news from a far country.
|
|
|
|
26. A righteous man who falters before the wicked
|
|
Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.
|
|
|
|
27. It is not good to eat much honey;
|
|
So to seek one's own glory is not glory.
|
|
|
|
28. Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
|
|
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
