< Proverbs 25 >

1 These are the miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Ezekias king of Judea copied out.
Also these [are] [the] proverbs of Solomon which they copied [the] men of - Hezekiah [the] king of Judah.
2 The glory of God conceals a matter: but the glory of a king honours business.
[is] [the] glory of God to conceal a matter and [is the] glory of kings to search out a matter.
3 Heaven is high, and earth is deep, and a king's heart is unsearchable.
Heaven for height and earth for depth and [the] heart of kings there not [is] inquiry.
4 Beat the drossy silver, and it shall be made entirely pure.

6 Be not boastful in the presence of the king, and remain not in the places of princes;
May not you claim honor before a king and in [the] place of great [people] may not you stand.
7 for [it is] better for you that it should be said, Come up to me, than that [one] should humble you in the presence of the prince; speak of that which your eyes have seen.
For [is] better to say to you come up here than to set low you before a noble [person] whom they have seen eyes your.
8 Get not suddenly into a quarrel, lest you repent at last.
May not you go forth to contest a lawsuit quickly lest what? will you do at end its when puts to shame you neighbor your.
9 Whenever your friend shall reproach you, retreat backward, despise [him] not;
Own case your conduct with neighbor your and [the] secret of another [person] may not you reveal.
10 lest your friend continue to reproach you, so your quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be to you like death. Favour and friendship set [a man] free, which do you keep for yourself, lest you be made liable to reproach; but take heed to your ways peaceably.
Lest he should bring shame you [one who] hears and evil report your not it will turn back.
11 [As] a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, so [is it] to speak a [wise] word.
Apples of gold in settings of silver a word spoken on proper times its.
12 In an ear-ring of gold a precious sardius is also set; [so is] a wise word to an obedient ear.
An earring of gold and an ornament of pure gold [one who] reproves wise on an ear listening.
13 As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger [refreshes] those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.
[is] like [the] cold of Snow - on a day of harvest an envoy faithful to [those who] sent him and [the] life of masters his he will restore.
14 As winds and clouds and rains are most evident [objects], so is he that boasts of a false gift.
Clouds and wind and [is] rain there not a person [who] boasts in a gift of falsehood.
15 In longsuffering is prosperity to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
By length of anger he will be persuaded a ruler and a tongue soft it will break bone.
16 Having found honey, eat [only] what is enough, lest haply you be filled, and vomit it up.
Honey you have found eat sufficiency your lest you should be surfeited with it and you will vomit up it.
17 Enter sparingly into your friend's house, lest he be satiated with your company, and hate you.
Make rare foot your from [the] house of neighbor your lest he should be surfeited with you and he will hate you.
18 [As] a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
A war-club and a sword and an arrow sharpened a person [who] testifies against neighbor his a witness of falsehood.
19 The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.
A tooth broken and a foot slipped [the] trust of [one who] acts treacherously in a day of trouble.
20 As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
[one who] removes A garment - on a day of coldness vinegar on soda and [one who] sings the songs to a heart sad.
21 If your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
If [is] hungry [one who] hates you give to eat him food and if thirsty give to drink him water.
22 for so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward you [with] good.
For burning coals you [will] snatch up on head his and Yahweh he will repay to you.
23 The north wind raises clouds; so an impudent face provokes the tongue.
A wind of [the] north it brings forth rain and faces indignant a tongue of secrecy.
24 [It is] better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.
[is] good To dwell on [the] corner of a roof more than a woman of (contentions *Q(K)*) and a house of association.
25 As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
Water cool on a person weary and a report good from a land of distance.
26 As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, so [is it] unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.
A spring fouled and a fountain ruined a righteous [person] [who] sways before a wicked [person].
27 [It is] not good to eat much honey; but it is right to honour venerable sayings.
To eat honey much not [is] good and [the] search of own honor their [is] an honor.
28 As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
A city broken into there not [is] a wall a person whom not control [belongs] to spirit his.
