# Proverbs 25 (New King James Version)
|
|
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.
