Proverbs - ch 25 v 1 - 20

  1. These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
  2. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
  3. The heaven for hight, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
  4. Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
  5. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
  6. Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
  7. For better it is that it be said to thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thy eyes have seen.
  8. Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
  9. Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and reveal not a secret to another:
  10. Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thy infamy turn not away.
  11. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
  12. As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
  13. As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
  14. Whoever boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
  15. By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
  16. Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled with it, and vomit it.
  17. Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
  18. A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
  19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
  20. As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre; so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
