Proverbs - ch 25 v 1 - 20
- Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
- The honour of God `is' to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
- The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- `are' unsearchable.
- Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
- Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
- Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
- For better `that' he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than `that' he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
- Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
- Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
- Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
- Apples of gold in imagery of silver, `Is' the word spoken at its fit times.
- A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, `Is' the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
- As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, `So is' a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
- Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, `Is' a man boasting himself in a false gift.
- By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
- Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated `with' it, and hast vomited it.
- Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated `with' thee, and have hated thee.
- A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, `Is' the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
- A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, `Is' the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
- Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, `Is as' vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
