025:001 | These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. |
025:002 | It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. |
025:003 | The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. |
025:004 | Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. |
025:005 | Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. |
025:006 | Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: |
025:007 | 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. |
025:008 | 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. |
025:009 | Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: |
025:010 | Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. |
025:011 | A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. |
025:012 | As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. |
025:013 | 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. |
025:014 | Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. |
025:015 | By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. |
025:016 | Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. |
025:017 | Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. |
025:018 | A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. |
025:019 | Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. |
025:020 | 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. |
025:021 | If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: |
025:022 | For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. |
025:023 | The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. |
025:024 | It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. |
025:025 | As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. |
025:026 | A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. |
025:027 | It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. |
025:028 | He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. |
026:001 | As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. |
026:002 | As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. |
026:003 | A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. |
026:004 | Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. |
026:005 | Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. |
026:006 | He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. |
026:007 | The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. |
026:008 | As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. |
026:009 | As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools. |
026:010 | The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. |
026:011 | As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. |
026:012 | Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. |
026:013 | The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. |
026:014 | As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. |
026:015 | The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. |
026:016 | The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. |
026:017 | He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. |
026:018 | As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, |
026:019 | So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? |
026:020 | Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. |
026:021 | As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. |
026:022 | The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. |
026:023 | Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. |
026:024 | He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; |
026:025 | When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. |
026:026 | Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. |
026:027 | Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. |
026:028 | A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. |
027:001 | Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. |
027:002 | Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. |
027:003 | A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. |
027:004 | Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? |
027:005 | Open rebuke is better than secret love. |
027:006 | Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. |
027:007 | The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
027:008 | As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. |
027:009 | Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. |
027:010 | Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. |
027:011 | My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. |
027:012 | A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. |
027:013 | Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. |
027:014 | He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. |
027:015 | A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. |
027:016 | Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. |
027:017 | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
027:018 | Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. |
027:019 | As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. |
027:020 | Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
027:021 | As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. |
027:022 | Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. |
027:023 | Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. |
027:024 | For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? |
027:025 | The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. |
027:026 | The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. |
027:027 | And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. |
028:001 | The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. |
028:002 | For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. |
028:003 | A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. |
028:004 | They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. |
028:005 | Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. |
028:006 | Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. |
028:007 | Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. |
028:008 | He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. |
028:009 | He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. |
028:010 | Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. |
028:011 | The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. |
028:012 | When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. |
028:013 | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
028:014 | Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. |
028:015 | As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. |
028:016 | The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. |
028:017 | A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. |
028:018 | Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. |
028:019 | He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. |
028:020 | A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. |
028:021 | To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. |
028:022 | He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. |
028:023 | He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. |
028:024 | Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. |
028:025 | He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. |
028:026 | He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. |
028:027 | He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. |
028:028 | When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. |
029:001 | He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. |
029:002 | When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. |
029:003 | Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. |
029:004 | The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. |
029:005 | A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. |
029:006 | In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. |
029:007 | The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. |
029:008 | Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. |
029:009 | If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. |
029:010 | The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. |
029:011 | A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. |
029:012 | If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. |
029:013 | The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. |
029:014 | The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. |
029:015 | The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. |
029:016 | When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. |
029:017 | Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. |
029:018 | Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. |
029:019 | A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. |
029:020 | Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. |
029:021 | He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. |
029:022 | An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. |
029:023 | A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. |
029:024 | Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. |
029:025 | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. |
029:026 | Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. |
029:027 | An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. |
