Proverbs 25:1-17

These [are] also proverbs
<04912>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
which the men
<0582>
of Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
copied out
<06275> (8689)_.
[It is] the glory
<03519>
of God
<0430>
to conceal
<05641> (8687)
a thing
<01697>_:
but the honour
<03519>
of kings
<04428>
[is] to search out
<02713> (8800)
a matter
<01697>_.
The heaven
<08064>
for height
<07312>_,
and the earth
<0776>
for depth
<06011>_,
and the heart
<03820>
of kings
<04428>
[is] unsearchable
<02714>_.
{is...: Heb. there is no searching}
Take away
<01898> (8800)
the dross
<05509>
from the silver
<03701>_,
and there shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
a vessel
<03627>
for the finer
<06884> (8802)_.
Take away
<01898> (8800)
the wicked
<07563>
[from] before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_,
and his throne
<03678>
shall be established
<03559> (8735)
in righteousness
<06664>_.
Put not forth
<01921> (8691)
thyself in the presence
<06440>
of the king
<04428>_,
and stand
<05975> (8799)
not in the place
<04725>
of great
<01419>
[men]: {Put...: Heb. Set not out thy glory}
For better
<02896>
[it is] that it be said
<0559> (8800)
unto thee, Come up
<05927> (8798)
hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower
<08213> (8687)
in the presence
<06440>
of the prince
<05081>
whom thine eyes
<05869>
have seen
<07200> (8804)_.
Go not forth
<03318> (8799)
hastily
<04118>
to strive
<07378> (8800)_,
lest [thou know not] what to do
<06213> (8799)
in the end
<0319>
thereof, when thy neighbour
<07453>
hath put thee to shame
<03637> (8687)_.
Debate
<07378> (8798)
thy cause
<07379>
with thy neighbour
<07453>
[himself]; and discover
<01540> (8762)
not a secret
<05475>
to another
<0312>_:
{a secret...: or, the secret of}
Lest he that heareth
<08085> (8802)
[it] put thee to shame
<02616> (8762)_,
and thine infamy
<01681>
turn not away
<07725> (8799)_.
A word
<01697>
fitly
<0212> (8675) <0655>
spoken
<01696> (8803)
[is like] apples
<08598>
of gold
<02091>
in pictures
<04906>
of silver
<03701>_.
{fitly...: Heb. spoken upon his wheels}
[As] an earring
<05141>
of gold
<02091>_,
and an ornament
<02481>
of fine gold
<03800>_,
[so is] a wise
<02450>
reprover
<03198> (8688)
upon an obedient
<08085> (8802)
ear
<0241>_.
As the cold
<06793>
of snow
<07950>
in the time
<03117>
of harvest
<07105>_,
[so is] a faithful
<0539> (8737)
messenger
<06735>
to them that send
<07971> (8802)
him: for he refresheth
<07725> (8686)
the soul
<05315>
of his masters
<0113>_.
Whoso
<0376>
boasteth
<01984> (8693)
himself of a false
<08267>
gift
<04991>
[is like] clouds
<05387>
and wind
<07307>
without rain
<01653>_.
{of a...: Heb. in a gift of falsehood}
By long
<0753>
forbearing
<0639>
is a prince
<07101>
persuaded
<06601> (8792)_,
and a soft
<07390>
tongue
<03956>
breaketh
<07665> (8799)
the bone
<01634>_.
Hast thou found
<04672> (8804)
honey
<01706>_?
eat
<0398> (8798)
so much as is sufficient
<01767>
for thee, lest thou be filled
<07646> (8799)
therewith, and vomit
<06958> (8689)
it.
Withdraw
<03365> (8685)
thy foot
<07272>
from thy neighbour's
<07453>
house
<01004>_;
lest he be weary
<07646> (8799)
of thee, and [so] hate
<08130> (8804)
thee. {Withdraw...: or, Let thy foot be seldom in} {weary...: Heb. full of thee}
