Proverbs 25
These also are proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010, which the menH582 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 copied outH6275.
It is the gloryH3519 of GodH430 to concealH5641 a thingH1697; But the gloryH3519 of kingsH4428 is to search outH2713 a matterH1697.
As the heavensH8064 for heightH7312, and the earthH776 for depthH6011, So the heartH3820 of kingsH4428 is unsearchableH2714.
Take awayH1898 the drossH5509 from the silverH3701, And there cometh forthH3318 a vesselH3627 for the refinerH6884:
Take awayH1898 the wickedH7563 from beforeH6440 the kingH4428, And his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in righteousnessH6664.
Put not thyself forwardH1921 in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, And standH5975 not in the placeH4725 of greatH1419 men:
For betterH2896 is it that it be saidH559 unto thee, Come upH5927 hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lowerH8213 in the presenceH6440 of the princeH5081, Whom thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200.
Go not forthH3318 hastilyH4118 to striveH7378, Lest thou know not what to doH6213 in the endH319 thereof, When thy neighborH7453 hath put thee to shameH3637.
DebateH7378 thy causeH7379 with thy neighborH7453 himself, And discloseH1540 not the secretH5475 of anotherH312;
Lest he that hearethH8085 it revileH2616 thee, And thine infamyH1681 turn not awayH7725.
A wordH1697 fitlyH212 spokenH1696 Is like applesH8598 of goldH2091 in networkH4906 of silverH3701.
As an ear-ringH5141 of goldH2091, and an ornamentH2481 of fine goldH3800, So is a wiseH2450 reproverH3198 upon an obedientH8085 earH241.
As the coldH6793 of snowH7950 in the timeH3117 of harvestH7105, So is a faithfulH539 messengerH6735 to them that sendH7971 him; For he refreshethH7725 the soulH5315 of his mastersH113.
As cloudsH5387 and windH7307 without rainH1653, So is heH376 that boastethH1984 himself of his giftsH4991 falselyH8267.
By longH753 forbearingH639 is a rulerH7101 persuadedH6601, And a softH7390 tongueH3956 breakethH7665 the boneH1634.
Hast thou foundH4672 honeyH1706? eatH398 so much as is sufficientH1767 for thee, Lest thou be filledH7646 therewith, and vomitH6958 it.
Let thy footH7272 be seldomH3365 in thy neighbor'sH7453 houseH1004, Lest he be wearyH7646 of thee, and hateH8130 thee.
A manH376 that bearethH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against his neighborH7453 Is a maulH4650, and a swordH2719, and a sharpH8150 arrowH2671.
ConfidenceH4009 in an unfaithful manH898 in timeH3117 of troubleH6869 Is like a brokenH7465 toothH8127, and a footH7272 out of jointH4154.
As one that taketh offH5710 a garmentH899 in coldH7135 weatherH3117, and as vinegarH2558 upon sodaH5427, So is he that singethH7891 songsH7892 to a heavyH7451 heartH3820.
If thine enemyH8130 be hungryH7457, give him breadH3899 to eatH398; And if he be thirstyH6771, give him waterH4325 to drinkH8248:
For thou wilt heapH2846 coals of fireH1513 upon his headH7218, And JehovahH3068 will rewardH7999 thee.
The northH6828 windH7307 bringeth forthH2342 rainH1653: So doth a backbitingH5643 tongueH3956 an angryH2194 countenanceH6440.
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the cornerH6438 of the housetopH1406, Than with a contentiousH4079 womanH802 in a wideH2267 houseH1004.
As coldH7119 watersH4325 to a thirstyH5889 soulH5315, So is goodH2896 newsH8052 from a farH4801 countryH776.
As a troubledH7515 fountainH4599, and a corruptedH7843 springH4599, So is a righteousH6662 man that givethH4131 way beforeH6440 the wickedH7563.
It is not goodH2896 to eatH398 muchH7235 honeyH1706: So for men to searchH2714 out their own gloryH3519 is grievousH3519.
HeH376 whose spiritH7307 is without restraintH4623 Is like a cityH5892 that is broken downH6555 and without wallsH2346.
