V.1 These [are] also Proverbs 4912 of Solomon, 8010 which the men 582 of Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063 copied out. 6275-52

25:2 [It is] the glory 3519 of God 430 to conceal 5641-53 a thing: 1697 but the honour 3519 of kings 4428 [is] to search out 2713-2 a matter. 1697

25:3 The heaven 8064 for height, 7312 and the earth 776 for depth, 6011 and the heart 3820 of kings 4428 [is] unsearchable. 369 2714

25:4 Take away 1898-2 the dross 5509 from the silver, 3701 and there shall come forth 3318-4 a vessel 3627 for the finer. 6884-6

25:5 Take away 1898-2 the wicked 7563 [from] before 6440 the king, 4428 and his throne 3678 shall be established 3559-11 in righteousness. 6664

25:6 Put not forth 1921-101 thyself in the presence 6440 of the king, 4428 and stand 5975-4 not in the place 4725 of great 1419 [men]:

25:7 For better 2896 [it is] that it be said 559-2 unto thee, Come up 5927-3 hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower 8213-53 in the presence 6440 of the prince 5081 whom thine eyes 5869 have seen. 7200-1

25:8 Go not forth 3318-4 hastily 4118 to strive, 7378-2 lest [thou know not] what to do 6213-4 in the end thereof, 319 when thy neighbour 7453 hath put thee to shame. 3637-53

25:9 Debate 7378-3 thy cause 7379 with thy neighbour 7453 [himself]; and discover 1540-17 not a secret 5475 to another: 312

25:10 Lest he that heareth 8085-6 [it] put thee to shame, 2616-17 and thine infamy 1681 turn not away. 7725-4

25:11 A word 1697 fitly 212|655-k spoken 1696-7 [is like] apples 8598 of gold 2091 in pictures 4906 of silver. 3701

25:12 [As] an earring 5141 of gold, 2091 and an ornament 2481 of fine gold, 3800 [so is] a wise 2450 reprover 3198-56 upon an obedient 8085-6 ear. 241

25:13 As the cold 6793 of snow 7950 in the time 3117 of harvest, 7105 [so is] a faithful 539-12 messenger 6735 to them that send 7971-6 him: for he refresheth 7725-55 the soul 5315 of his masters. 113

25:14 Whoso 376 boasteth 1984-102 himself of a false 8267 gift 4991 [is like] clouds 5387 and wind 7307 without rain. 1653

25:15 By long 753 forbearing 639 is a prince 7101 persuaded, 6601-29 and a soft 7390 tongue 3956 breaketh 7665-4 the bone. 1634

25:16 Hast thou found 4672-1 honey? 1706 eat 398-3 so much as is sufficient 1767 for thee, lest thou be filled 7646-4 therewith, and vomit 6958-52 it.

25:17 Withdraw 3365-54 thy foot 7272 from thy neighbour's 7453 house; 1004 lest he be weary 7646-4 of thee, and [so] hate 8130-1 thee.

25:18 A man 376 that beareth 6030-6 false 8267 witness 5707 against his neighbour 7453 [is] a maul, 4650 and a sword, 2719 and a sharp 8150-6 arrow. 2671

25:19 Confidence 4009 in an unfaithful man 898-6 in time 3117 of trouble 6869 [is like] a broken 7465 tooth, 8127 and a foot 7272 out of joint. 4154

25:20 [As] he that taketh away 5710-56 a garment 899 in cold 7135 weather, 3117 [and as] vinegar 2558 upon nitre, 5427 so [is] he that singeth 7891-6 songs 7892 to an heavy 7451 heart. 3820

25:21 If thine enemy 8130-6 be hungry, 7457 give him bread 3899 to eat; 398-54 and if he be thirsty, 6771 give him water 4325 to drink: 8248-54

25:22 For thou shalt heap 2846-6 coals of fire 1513 upon his head, 7218 and the LORD 3068 shall reward 7999-17 thee.

25:23 The north 6828 wind 7307 driveth away 2342-34 rain: 1653 so [doth] an angry 2194-12 countenance 6440 a backbiting 5643 tongue. 3956

25:24 [It is] better 2896 to dwell 3427-2 in the corner 6438 of the housetop, 1406 than with a brawling 4079|4066-k woman 802 and in a wide 2267 house. 1004

25:25 [As] cold 7119 waters 4325 to a thirsty 5889 soul, 5315 so [is] good 2896 news 8052 from a far 4801 country. 776

25:26 A righteous 6662 man falling down 4131-5 before 6440 the wicked 7563 [is as] a troubled 7515-12 fountain, 4599 and a corrupt 7843-94 spring. 4726

25:27 [It is] not good 2896 to eat 398-2 much 7235-53 honey: 1706 so [for men] to search 2714 their own glory 3519 [is not] glory. 3519
