Pro 25:6 Do not honor yourself before a king, and do not stand in the place of the great.

Pro 25:10 lest he who hears put you to shame, and your evil report not turn back.
Pro 25:11 A word rightly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Pro 25:12 As a ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover on a hearing ear.

Pro 25:21 If one hating you is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
Pro 25:22 for you shall heap coals of fire on his head, and Jehovah shall reward you.
Pro 25:23 The north wind brings rain, so does a secret tongue an angry face.
Pro 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Pro 25:25 Like cold waters to a weary soul, so is a good report from a far country.
Pro 25:26 The righteous falling down before the wicked is like a fouled fountain and a ruined spring.
Pro 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey, and to search out their honor is not honor.
Pro 25:28 A man to whom there is no control to his spirit is like a broken down city without a wall.
