Pro 25:1 These are the proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out:
\nPro 25:2 The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
\nPro 25:3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, but the heart of kings is unsearchable.
\nPro 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and a vessel of the refiner’s shall appear.
\nPro 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne is established in righteousness.
\nPro 25:6 Do not honor yourself before a king, and do not stand in the place of the great.
\nPro 25:7 For it is better that he shall say to you, Come up here! than that you should be put lower before a noble whom your eyes have seen.
\nPro 25:8 Do not go out to fight hastily, lest you know not what to do in the end of it, when your neighbor has put you to shame.
\nPro 25:9 Contend for your cause with your neighbor, and do not uncover the secret of another,
\nPro 25:10 lest he who hears put you to shame, and your evil report not turn back.
\nPro 25:11 A word rightly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
\nPro 25:12 As a ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover on a hearing ear.
\nPro 25:13 Like the cold of snow in harvest time, so is a faithful messenger to those sending him, for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
\nPro 25:14 A man boasting himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind, but with no rain.
\nPro 25:15 In being slow to anger, a ruler is persuaded; and a soft tongue shatters the bone.
\nPro 25:16 Have you found honey? Eat only your fill lest you be satiated and vomit it out.
\nPro 25:17 Make your foot rare from your neighbor’s house, lest he be full of you and hate you.
\nPro 25:18 A man who gives false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword and a sharp arrow.
\nPro 25:19 Confidence in a treacherous man in time of distress is like a bad tooth and a slipping foot.
\nPro 25:20 As he who takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar on soda, so is he who sings songs on a heart in misery.
\nPro 25:21 If one hating you is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
\nPro 25:22 for you shall heap coals of fire on his head, and Jehovah shall reward you.
\nPro 25:23 The north wind brings rain, so does a secret tongue an angry face.
\nPro 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
\nPro 25:25 Like cold waters to a weary soul, so is a good report from a far country.
\nPro 25:26 The righteous falling down before the wicked is like a fouled fountain and a ruined spring.
\nPro 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey, and to search out their honor is not honor.
\nPro 25:28 A man to whom there is no control to his spirit is like a broken down city without a wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
