Proverbs - Chapter: 25


25:1	These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
25:2	It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
25:3	The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
25:4	Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
25:5	Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
25:6	Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
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.
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.
25:9	Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
25:10	Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
25:11	A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
25:12	As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
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.
25:14	Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
25:15	By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
25:16	Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
25:17	Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
25:18	A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
25:19	Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
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.
25:21	If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
25:22	For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
25:23	The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
25:24	It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25:25	As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
25:26	A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
25:27	It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
25:28	He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.


25:1	These also are the parables of Salomon, which the men of Ezekiah Kynge of Iuda copied out.
25:2	It is the honour of God to kepe a thinge secrete, but the kynges honour is to search out a thyng.
25:3	The heauen is hye, the earth is depe, & the kynges herte is vnsearcheable.
25:4	Take the drosse from the syluer, & there shalbe a cleane vessell therof.
25:5	Take awaye vngodlynesse from the kinge, & his seate shalbe stablished wt ryghteousnes.
25:6	Put not forth thy selfe in the presence of the king, & preace not into the place of greate men.
25:7	Better is it that it be sayde vnto the: come vp hyther, then thou to be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thou seyst wt thyne eyes.
25:8	Be not hastie to go to the lawe, lest happlye thou do some offence after the strife be ended wherby thy neyghbour put the to shame.
25:9	Handle thy matter wt thy neyghbour him selfe, and discouer not another mans secrete:
25:10	lest when men heare therof, it turne to thy disshonoure, and least thyne euell name do not ceasse.
25:11	A worde spoken in due season, is lyke apples of golde in a graued worke of syluer.
25:12	The correccion of the wyse is to an obedient eare, a golden cheine & a Iewell of golde.
25:13	Lyke as the winter coole in the haruest, so is a faythfull messaunger to them that send him: for he refressheth his masters mynde.

25:23	The North winde dryueth awaye the rayne, euen so doth an earnest sober countenaunce a backbyters tonge,
25:24	It is better to syt in a corner vnder the rofe, then with a brauling woman in a wyde house:
25:25	A good reporte out of a farre countre, is lyke coulde water to a thyrstie soule.
25:26	A ryghteous man fallynge downe before the vngodly, is lyke a troubled well & a springe that is destroyed.
25:27	Lyke as it is not good to eate to moch hony, euen so he that will search out hye thynges, it shall be to heuy for hym.
25:28	He that cannot rule hym selfe, is lyke a cyte which is broken downe, & hath no walles.
