Proverbs 25

 

Pro 25:1  These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

Pro 25:2  It is the glory of God to conceal a thing[dhh1] : but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. [dhh2] 

Pro 25:3  The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

Pro 25:4  Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

Eze 22:19  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

 

 

Pro 25:6  Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great [dhh3] men:

Pro 25:7  For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

Pro 25:8  Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

Pro 25:10  Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

Pro 25:11  A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Pro 25:12  As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Pro 25:13  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.

Pro 25:14  Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [dhh4] is like clouds and wind without rain.

Pro 25:16  Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Pro 25:17  Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

Pro 25:18  A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Pro 25:19  Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

Pro 25:20  As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

Pro 25:21  If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

Pro 25:22  For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

Pro 25:23  The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

Pro 25:24  It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

Pro 25:25  As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

Pro 25:26  A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

Pro 25:27  It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
