Proverbs 25:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 These are some more wise sayings from Solomon. These proverbs were copied by servants of Hezekiah, the king of Judah.
2 We honor God for the things he keeps secret. But we honor kings for the things they can discover.
3 We cannot discover how high the sky is above us or how deep the earth is below. The same is true with the minds of kings. We cannot understand them.
4 Remove the worthless things from silver to make it pure, and a worker can make something beautiful.
5 Take the evil advisors away from a king, and goodness will make his kingdom strong.
6 Don't brag about yourself before the king and pretend you are someone important.
7 It is much better for the king to invite you to take a more important position than to embarrass you in front of his officials.
8 Don't be too quick to tell a judge about something you saw. You will be embarrassed if someone else proves you wrong.
9 If you want to tell your friends about your own problems, tell them. But don't discuss what someone told you in private.
10 Whoever hears it will lose their respect for you and will never trust you again.
11 Saying the right thing at the right time is like a golden apple in a silver setting.
12 Wise advice to a listening ear is like gold earrings or fine jewelry.
13 To his master who sent him, a messenger who can be trusted is as refreshing as a drink of cold water on a hot summer day.
14 People who promise to give gifts but never give them are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.
15 With patience, you can make anyone change their thinking, even a ruler. Gentle speech is very powerful.
16 Honey is good, but don't eat too much of it, or you will be sick.
17 And don't visit your neighbors' homes too often, or they will begin to hate you.
18 A person who gives false testimony against a neighbor is as deadly as a club, a sword, or a very sharp arrow.
19 Never depend on a liar in times of trouble. It's like chewing with a bad tooth or walking with a crippled foot.
20 Singing happy songs to a sad person is as foolish as taking a coat off on a cold day or mixing soda and vinegar.
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat. If they are thirsty, give them some water.
22 This will make them feel the burning pain of shame, and the Lord will reward you for being good to them.
23 Just as wind blowing from the north brings rain, telling secrets brings anger.
24 It is better to live in a small corner of the roof than to share the house with a woman who is always arguing.
25 Good news from a faraway place is like a cool drink of water when you are hot and thirsty.
26 Good people who don't stand strong against evil are like springs that have been polluted or pools that have turned dirty and muddy.
27 Just as eating too much honey is not good, it is not good for people to always be looking for honor.
28 People who cannot control themselves are like cities without walls to protect them.
1 These H428 are also H1571 proverbs H4912 of Solomon, H8010 which H834 the men H376 of Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 copied out. H6275
2 It is the glory H3519 of God H430 to conceal H5641 a thing: H1697 but the honor H3519 of kings H4428 is to search out H2713 a matter. H1697
3 The heaven H8064 for height, H7312 and the earth H776 for depth, H6011 and the heart H3820 of kings H4428 is unsearchable H369 H2714 .
4 Take away H1898 the dross H5509 from the silver H4480 H3701 , and there shall come forth H3318 a vessel H3627 for the refiner. H6884
5 Take away H1898 the wicked H7563 from before H6440 the king, H4428 and his throne H3678 shall be established H3559 in righteousness. H6664
6 Put not forth thyself H408 H1921 in the presence H6440 of the king, H4428 and stand H5975 not H408 in the place H4725 of great H1419 men :
7 For H3588 better H2896 it is that it be said H559 unto thee , Come up H5927 hither; H2008 than that thou shouldest be put lower H4480 H8213 in the presence H6440 of the prince H5081 whom H834 thine eyes H5869 have seen. H7200
8 Go not forth H3318 H408 hastily H4118 to strive, H7378 lest H6435 thou know not what H4100 to do H6213 in the end H319 thereof , when thy neighbor H7453 hath put thee to shame H3637 H853 .
9 Debate H7378 thy cause H7379 with H854 thy neighbor H7453 himself ; and discover H1540 not H408 a secret H5475 to another: H312
10 Lest H6435 he that heareth H8085 it put thee to shame, H2616 and thine infamy H1681 turn not away H3808 H7725 .
11 A word H1697 fitly H5921 H655 spoken H1696 is like apples H8598 of gold H2091 in pictures H4906 of silver. H3701
12 As an earring H5141 of gold, H2091 and an ornament H2481 of fine gold, H3800 so is a wise H2450 reprover H3198 upon H5921 an obedient H8085 ear. H241
13 As the cold H6793 of snow H7950 in the time H3117 of harvest, H7105 so is a faithful H539 messenger H6735 to them that send H7971 him : for he refresheth H7725 the soul H5315 of his masters. H113
14 Whoso H376 boasteth himself H1984 of a false H8267 gift H4991 is like clouds H5387 and wind H7307 without H369 rain. H1653
15 By long H753 forbearing H639 is a prince H7101 persuaded, H6601 and a soft H7390 tongue H3956 breaketh H7665 the bone. H1634
16 Hast thou found H4672 honey H1706 ? eat H398 so much as is sufficient H1767 for thee, lest H6435 thou be filled H7646 therewith , and vomit H6958 it.
17 Withdraw H3365 thy foot H7272 from thy neighbor's H7453 house H4480 H1004 ; lest H6435 he be weary H7646 of thee , and so hate H8130 thee.
18 A man H376 that beareth H6030 false H8267 witness H5707 against his neighbor H7453 is a maul, H4650 and a sword, H2719 and a sharp H8150 arrow. H2671
19 Confidence H4009 in an unfaithful man H898 in time H3117 of trouble H6869 is like a broken H7465 tooth, H8127 and a foot H7272 out of joint. H4154
20 As he that taketh away H5710 a garment H899 in cold H7135 weather, H3117 and as vinegar H2558 upon H5921 niter, H5427 so is he that singeth H7891 songs H7892 to H5921 a heavy H7451 heart. H3820
21 If H518 thine enemy H8130 be hungry, H7457 give him bread H3899 to eat; H398 and if H518 he be thirsty, H6771 give him water H4325 to drink: H8248
22 For H3588 thou H859 shalt heap H2846 coals of fire H1513 upon H5921 his head, H7218 and the LORD H3068 shall reward H7999 thee.
23 The north H6828 wind H7307 driveth away H2342 rain: H1653 so doth an angry H2194 countenance H6440 a backbiting H5643 tongue. H3956
24 It is better H2896 to dwell H3427 in H5921 the corner H6438 of the housetop, H1406 than with a brawling woman H4480 H802 H4079 and in a wide H2267 house. H1004
25 As cold H7119 waters H4325 to H5921 a thirsty H5889 soul, H5315 so is good H2896 news H8052 from a far country H4480 H776. H4801
26 A righteous H6662 man falling down H4131 before H6440 the wicked H7563 is as a troubled H7515 fountain, H4599 and a corrupt H7843 spring. H4726
27 It is not H3808 good H2896 to eat H398 much H7235 honey: H1706 so for men to search H2714 their own glory H3519 is not glory. H3519
28 He H376 that H834 hath no H369 rule over H4623 his own spirit H7307 is like a city H5892 that is broken down, H6555 and without H369 walls. H2346
