CHAP. XXV.
1 Obseruations about Kings, 8 and about
auoyding causes of quarrels, and sundry
causes thereof.
1
These are also Prouerbes of
Solomon, which the men
of Hezekiah king of Iudah
copied out.
2
It is the glory of God
to conceale a thing: but the honour of
Kings is to search out a matter.
3
The heauen for height, and the
earth for depth, and the heart of Kings
is note vnsearchable.
4
Take away the drosse from the
siluer, and there shall come foorth a vessell
for the finer.
5
noteTake away the wicked from before
the king, and his throne shalbe established
in righteousnes.
6
notePut not forth thy selfe in the presence
of the king, and stand not in the
place of great men.
7
noteFor 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.
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.
9
noteDebate thy cause with thy neighbour
himselfe; and note discouer not a secret
to another:
10
Lest he that heareth it, put thee to
shame, and thine infamie turne not away.
11
A word note fitly spoken is like apples
of gold in pictures of siluer.
A shrewd wife.
12
As an eare-ring of gold, and an
ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprouer
vpon an obedient eare.
13
noteAs 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.
14
Who so boasteth himselfe note of a
false gift, is like cloudes and winde without
raine.
15
noteBy long forbearing is a Prince
perswaded, and a soft tongue breaketh
the bone.
16
Hast thou found hony? eate so
much as is sufficient for thee: lest thou
be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17
noteWithdraw thy foote from thy
neighbours house: lest he be note weary of
thee, and so hate thee.
18
A man that beareth false witnes
against note his neighbour, is a maule, and
a sword, and a sharpe arrow.
19
Confidence in an vnfaithfull man
in time of trouble, is like a broken tooth,
and a foot out of ioynt.
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.
21
noteIf thine enemie be hungry, giue
him bread to eate: and if hee be thirstie,
giue him water to drinke.
22
For thou shalt heape coales of
fire vpon his head, and the Lord
shall reward thee.
23
noteThe North winde driueth away
raine: so doeth an angrie countenance
a backbiting tongue.
24
noteIt is better to dwell in a corner
of the house top, then with a brawling
woman, and in a wide house.
25
As cold waters to a thirstie soule:
so is good newes from a farre countrey.
26
A righteous man falling downe
before the wicked, is as a troubled fountaine,
aud a corrupt spring.
27
It is not good to eat much hony:
so for men to search their owne glory, is
not glory.
28
noteHee that hath no rule ouer his
owne spirit, is like a citie that is broken
downe, and without walles.
