TheseH428 are alsoH1571 proverbsH4912 of Solomon,H8010 whichH834 the menH582 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 copiedH6275 out.
2
It is the gloryH3519 of GodH430 to concealH5641 a thing:H1697 but the honorH3519 of kingsH4428 is to searchH2713 out a matter.H1697
3
The heavenH8064 for height,H7312 and the earthH776 for depth,H6012 and the heartH3820 of kingsH4428 is unsearchable.H369 H2714
4
TakeH1898 awayH1898 the drossH5509 from the silver,H3701 and there shall comeH3318 forthH3318 a vesselH3627 for the finer.H6884
5
TakeH1898 awayH1898 the wickedH7563 from beforeH6440 the king,H4428 and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in righteousness.H6664
6
PutH1921 not forthH1921 yourself in the presenceH6440 of the king,H4428 and standH5975 not in the placeH4725 of greatH1419 men:
7
For betterH2896 it is that it be saidH559 to you, ComeH5927 up here;H2008 than that you should be put lowerH8213 in the presenceH6440 of the princeH5081 whomH834 your eyesH5869 have seen.H7200
8
GoH3318 not forthH3318 hastilyH4118 to strive,H7378 lestH6435 you know not whatH4100 to doH6213 in the endH319 thereof, when your neighborH7453 has put you to shame.H3637
9
DebateH7378 your causeH7379 with your neighborH7453 himself; and discoverH1540 not a secretH5475 to another:H312
10
LestH6435 he that hearsH8085 it put you to shame,H2616 and your infamyH1681 turnH7725 not away.
11
A wordH1697 fitlyH5921 H655 spokenH1696 is like applesH8598 of goldH2091 in picturesH4906 of silver.H3701
12
As an earringH5141 of gold,H2091 and an ornamentH2481 of fine gold,H3800 soH3651 is a wiseH2450 reproverH3198 on an obedientH8085 ear.H241
13
As the coldH6793 of snowH7950 in the timeH3117 of harvest,H7105 soH3651 is a faithfulH539 messengerH6735 to them that sendH7971 him: for he refreshesH7725 the soulH5315 of his masters.H113
14
WhoeverH376 H834 boastsH1984 himself of a falseH8267 giftH4991 is like cloudsH5387 and windH7307 withoutH369 rain.H1653
15
By longH753 forbearingH639 is a princeH7101 persuaded,H6601 and a softH7390 tongueH3956 breaksH7665 the bone.H1634
16
Have you foundH4672 honey?H1706 eatH398 soH3651 muchH1767 as is sufficientH1767 for you, lestH6435 you be filledH7646 therewith, and vomitH6958 it.
17
WithdrawH3365 your footH7272 from your neighbor'sH7453 house;H1004 lestH6435 he be wearyH7646 of you, and soH3651 hateH8130 you.
18
A manH376 that bearsH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against his neighborH7453 is a maul,H4650 and a sword,H2719 and a sharpH8150 arrow.H2671
19
ConfidenceH4009 in an unfaithfulH898 man in timeH3117 of troubleH6869 is like a brokenH7465 tooth,H8127 and a footH7272 out of joint.H4154
20
As he that takesH5710 awayH5710 a garmentH899 in coldH7135 weather,H3117 and as vinegarH2558 on nitre,H5427 soH3651 is he that singesH7891 songsH7892 to an heavyH7451 heart.H3820
21
IfH518 your enemyH8130 be hungry,H7456 give him breadH3899 to eat;H398 and ifH518 he be thirsty,H6771 give him waterH4325 to drink:H8248
22
For you shall heapH2846 coalsH1513 of fire on his head,H7218 and the LORDH3068 shall rewardH7999 you.
23
The northH6828 windH7307 drivesH2342 away rain:H1653 soH3651 does an angryH2194 countenanceH6440 a backbitingH5643 tongue.H3956
24
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the cornerH6438 of the housetop,H1406 than with a brawlingH4090 womanH802 and in a wideH2267 house.H1004
25
As coldH7119 watersH4325 to a thirsty soul,H5315 soH3651 is goodH2896 newsH8052 from a farH4801 country.H776
26
A righteousH6662 man fallingH4131 down beforeH6440 the wickedH7563 is as a troubledH7515 fountain,H4599 and a corruptH7843 spring.H4726
27
It is not goodH2896 to eatH398 muchH7235 honey:H1706 soH3651 for men to searchH2714 their own gloryH3519 is not glory.H3519
28
He that has noH369 ruleH4623 over his own spiritH7307 is like a cityH5892 that is brokenH6555 down, and withoutH369 walls.H2346
