25:1 These
are
also
Prouerbes
of
Solomon,
which
the
men
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Iudah
copied
out.
25:2 It
is
the
glory
of
God
to
conceale
a
thing:
but
the
honour
of
Kings
is
to
search
out
a
matter.
25:3 The
heauen
for
height,
and
the
earth
for
depth,
and
the
heart
of
Kings
is
vnsearchable.
25:4 Take
away
the
drosse
from
the
siluer,
and
there
shall
come
foorth
a
vessell
for
the
finer.
25:5 Take
away
the
wicked
from
before
the
king,
and
his
throne
shalbe
established
in
righteousnes.
25:6 Put
not
forth
thy
selfe
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
vnto
thee,
Come
vp
hither;
then
that
thou
shouldest
be
put
lower
in
the
presence
of
the
Prince
whom
thine
eies
haue
seene.
25:8 Goe
not
forth
hastily
to
striue,
lest
thou
know
not
what
to
doe
in
the
ende
thereof,
when
thy
neighbour
hath
put
thee
to
shame.
25:9 Debate
thy
cause
with
thy
neighbour
himselfe;
and
discouer
not
a
secret
to
another:
25:10 Lest
he
that
heareth
it,
put
thee
to
shame,
and
thine
infamie
turne
not
away.
25:11 A
word
fitly
spoken
is
like
apples
of
gold
in
pictures
of
siluer.
25:12 As
an
eare-ring
of
gold,
and
an
ornament
of
fine
gold,
so
is
a
wise
reprouer
vpon
an
obedient
eare.
25:13 As
the
cold
of
snow
in
the
time
of
haruest,
so
is
a
faithfull
messenger
to
them
that
send
him:
for
hee
refresheth
the
soule
of
his
masters.
25:14 Who
so
boasteth
himselfe
of
a
false
gift,
is
like
cloudes
and
winde
without
raine.
25:15 By
long
forbearing
is
a
Prince
perswaded,
and
a
soft
tongue
breaketh
the
bone.
25:16 Hast
thou
found
hony
eate
so
much
as
is
sufficient
for
thee:
lest
thou
be
filled
therewith,
and
vomit
it.
25:17 Withdraw
thy
foote
from
thy
neighbours
house:
lest
he
be
weary
of
thee,
and
so
hate
thee.
25:18 A
man
that
beareth
false
witnes
against
his
neighbour,
is
a
maule,
and
a
sword,
and
a
sharpe
arrow.
25:19 Confidence
in
an
vnfaithfull
man
in
time
of
trouble,
is
like
a
broken
tooth,
and
a
foot
out
of
ioynt.
25:20 As
hee
that
taketh
away
a
garment
in
cold
weather;
and
as
vineger
vpon
nitre;
so
is
he
that
singeth
songs
to
an
heauy
heart.
25:21 If
thine
enemie
be
hungry,
giue
him
bread
to
eate:
and
if
hee
be
thirstie,
giue
him
water
to
drinke.
25:22 For
thou
shalt
heape
coales
of
fire
vpon
his
head,
and
the
Lord
shall
reward
thee.
25:23 The
North
winde
driueth
away
raine:
so
doeth
an
angrie
countenance
a
backbiting
tongue.
25:24 It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
corner
of
the
house
top,
then
with
a
brawling
woman,
and
in
a
wide
house.
25:25 As
cold
waters
to
a
thirstie
soule:
so
is
good
newes
from
a
farre
countrey.
25:26 A
righteous
man
falling
downe
before
the
wicked,
is
as
a
troubled
fountaine,
aud
a
corrupt
spring.
25:27 It
is
not
good
to
eat
much
hony:
so
for
men
to
search
their
owne
glory,
is
not
glory.
25:28 Hee
that
hath
no
rule
ouer
his
owne
spirit,
is
like
a
citie
that
is
broken
downe,
and
without
walles.
