Proverbs 25

1TheseH428 also are proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010, whichH834 the menH376 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 copiedH6275 outH376. 2It is the gloryH3519 of GodH430 to concealH5641 a thingH1697: but the gloryH3519 of kingsH4428 is to searchH2713 outH2713 a matterH1697. 3The heavenH8064 for heightH7312, and the earthH776 for depthH6011, and the heartH3820 of kingsH4428 is unsearchable. 4TakeH3318 awayH3318 the drossH5509 from the silverH3701, and there cometh forthH3318 a vesselH3627 for the finer: 5TakeH1898 awayH1898 the wickedH7563 from beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in righteousnessH6664. 6Put notH408 thyself forwardH6440 in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, and standH5975 notH408 in the placeH4725 of greatH1419 menH1419: 7For betterH2896 is it that it be saidH559 unto thee, ComeH5927 upH5927 hither; thanH2896 that thou shouldest be putH5927 lowerH8213 in the presenceH6440 of the princeH5081, whomH834 thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200. 8GoH3318 notH408 forthH3318 hastilyH7378 to striveH7378, lestH6435 thou know notH408 whatH4100 to doH6213 in the endH319 thereof, when thy neighbour hath putH3318 thee to shameH3637. 9Debate thy causeH7379 with thy neighbour himselfH1540, and disclose notH408 the secretH5475 of anotherH312: 10LestH6435 he that heareth it revile thee, and thine infamy turnH7725 notH3808 awayH7725. 11A wordH1697 fitly spokenH1696 is like applesH8598 of goldH2091 in baskets of silverH3701. 12As an earringH5141 of goldH2091, and an ornamentH2481 of fineH3800 goldH2091, soH8085 is a wiseH2450 reproverH3198 uponH5921 an obedientH8085 earH241. 13As the cold of snowH7950 in the time of harvestH7105, soH7971 is a faithfulH539 messengerH6735 to them that sendH7971 him; for he refresheth the soulH5315 of his mastersH113. 14As clouds and windH7307 withoutH369 rainH1653, soH369 is he that boasteth himselfH376 of his giftsH4991 falselyH8267. 15By longH753 forbearing is a rulerH7101 persuaded, and a softH7390 tongueH3956 breaketh the boneH1634. 16Hast thou foundH4672 honeyH1706? eatH398 soH6435 much as is sufficientH1767 for thee; lestH6435 thou be filledH7646 therewith, and vomitH6958 it. 17Let thy footH7272 be seldom in thy neighbour’s houseH1004; lestH6435 he be wearyH7646 of thee, and hateH8130 thee. 18A manH376 that beareth falseH8267 witnessH5707 againstH376 his neighbour is a maul, and a swordH2719, and a sharpH8150 arrowH2671. 19ConfidenceH4009 in an unfaithful man in time of troubleH6869 is like a broken toothH8127, and a footH7272 out of joint. 20As one that taketh offH5921 a garmentH899 in coldH7135 weather, and as vinegarH2558 uponH5921 nitre, soH5921 is he that singeth songsH7892 to an heavy heartH3820. 21IfH518 thine enemyH8130 be hungryH7457, giveH8248 him breadH3899 to eatH398; and ifH518 he be thirstyH6771, giveH8248 him waterH4325 to drinkH8248: 22For thou shalt heapH2846 coalsH1513 of fire uponH5921 his headH7218, and the LORDH3068 shall rewardH7999 thee. 23The northH6828 windH7307 bringeth forth rainH1653: soH6440 doth a backbiting tongueH3956 an angryH2194 countenanceH6440. 24It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the comer of the housetopH1406, thanH2896 with a contentiousH4066 womanH802 in a wide houseH1004. 25As coldH7119 watersH4325 to a thirsty soulH5315, soH5921 is goodH2896 newsH8052 from a farH4801 countryH776. 26As a troubled fountainH4726, and a corruptedH7843 springH4599, soH6440 is a righteousH6662 manH7563 that giveth wayH6440 beforeH6440 the wickedH7563. 27It is notH3808 goodH2896 to eatH398 muchH7235 honeyH1706: soH3808 for men to searchH2714 outH2714 their own gloryH3519 is notH3808 gloryH3519. 28He whoseH834 spiritH7307 is withoutH369 restraint is like a cityH5892 that is brokenH6555 downH6555 and hath noH369 wallH2346.
