    Proverbs 25
    • 1   Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
    • 2   The honour of God is to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
    • 3   The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings-- are unsearchable.
    • 4   Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
    • 5   Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
    • 6   Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
    • 7   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.
    • 8   Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
    • 9   Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
    • 10   Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
    • 11   Apples of gold in imagery of silver, Is the word spoken at its fit times.
    • 12   A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
    • 13   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.
    • 14   Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, Is a man boasting himself in a false gift.
    • 15   By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
    • 16   Honey thou hast found--eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated with it, and hast vomited it.
    • 17   Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated with thee, and have hated thee.
    • 18   A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Is the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
    • 19   A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, Is the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
    • 20   Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, Is as vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
    • 21   If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
    • 22   For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
    • 23   A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue--indignant faces.
    • 24   Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than with a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
    • 25   As cold waters for a weary soul, So is a good report from a far country.
    • 26   A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, Is the righteous falling before the wicked.
    • 27   The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one's own honour--honour.
    • 28   A city broken down without walls, Is a man without restraint over his spirit!
