These
also
are
1
proverbs
of
Solomon
which
the
men
of
Hezekiah
,
king
of
Judah
,
transcribed
.
2
It is the
glory
of
God
to
2
conceal
a
matter
, But the
glory
of
3
kings
is to
search
out a
matter
.
3
As the
heavens
for
height
and the
earth
for
depth
, So the
heart
of
kings
is
unsearchable
*
.
4
Take
away
the
4
dross
from the
silver
, And there
comes
out a
vessel
for the
5
smith
;
5
Take
away
the
6
wicked
before
the
king
, And his
7
throne
will be
established
in
righteousness
.
6
Do not
claim
honor
in the
presence
of the
king
, And do not
stand
in the
place
of
great
men
;
7
For
8
it is
better
that it be
said
to you,
"Come
up
here
,"
Than
for you to be
placed
lower
in the
presence
of the
prince
,
Whom
your
eyes
have
seen
.
8
Do not
go
out
9
hastily
to
argue
your case;
Otherwise
,
what
will you
do
in the
end
, When your
neighbor
humiliates
you?
9
10
Argue
your
case
with your
neighbor
, And
11
do not
reveal
the
secret
of
another
,
10
Or
he who
hears
it will
reproach
you, And the
evil
report
about you will not
pass
away
.
11
Like
apples
of
gold
in
settings
of
silver
Is a
12
word
spoken
in right
circumstances
.
12
Like an
13
earring
of
gold
and an
14
ornament
of
15
fine
gold
Is a
wise
reprover
to a
16
listening
ear
.
13
Like the
cold
of
snow
in the
time
of
harvest
Is a
17
faithful
messenger
to those who
send
him, For he
refreshes
the
soul
of his
masters
.
14
Like
18
clouds
and
19
wind
without
rain
Is a
man
who
boasts
of his
gifts
falsely
.
15
By
20
forbearance
*
a
ruler
may be
persuaded
, And a
soft
tongue
breaks
the
bone
.
16
Have you
21
found
honey
?
Eat
only
what
you
need
, That you not
have
it in
excess
and
vomit
it.
17
Let your
foot
rarely
be in your
neighbor's
house
,
Or
he will
become
weary
of you and
hate
you.
18
Like a
club
and a
22
sword
and a
sharp
23
arrow
Is a
man
who
bears
24
false
witness
against his
neighbor
.
19
Like a
bad
tooth
and an
unsteady
foot
Is
confidence
in a
25
faithless
man in
time
of
trouble
.
20
Like one who
takes
off
a
garment
on a
cold
day
, or like
vinegar
on
soda
, Is he who
sings
songs
to a
troubled
heart
.
21
26
If
your
enemy
is
hungry
,
give
him
food
to
eat
; And
if
he is
thirsty
,
give
him
water
to
drink
;
22
For you will
heap
burning
coals
on his
head
, And
27
the
LORD
will
reward
you.
23
The
north
wind
brings
forth
rain
, And a
28
backbiting
tongue
, an
angry
countenance
.
24
It is
29
better
to
live
in a
corner
of the
roof
Than
in a
house
shared
with a
contentious
woman
.
25
Like
cold
water
to a
weary
soul
, So is
30
good
news
from a
distant
land
.
26
Like a
31
trampled
spring
and a
polluted
well
Is a
righteous
man
who
gives
way
before
the
wicked
.
27
It is not
good
to
eat
much
honey
,
Nor
is it
glory
to
32
search
out one's own
glory
.
28
Like a
33
city
that is
broken
into and
without
walls
Is a
man
34
who
has
no
control
over his
spirit
.
