[25:2] The glory of God is to conceal a matter, but the glory of King is to search out a matter.
also These (are) proverbs of Solomon, which made advance the men of Hezekiah king of Judah.
the glory of God (is) to conceal a matter; but the glory of King (is) to search out a matter.
the heavens for height; and the earth for depth; but the heart of kings there is no searching.
take away the dross from the silver, and shall go out as the refiners a vessel. Take away the wicked (from) before a king, and is settled in righteousness his throne.
not Do honor yourself before a king; and in the place of the great not do stand. for it is better he says to you, come up here! than you be put lower before a noble whom have seen your eyes.
not Do go out to fight hastily; lest, what shall you do in the end of it, when has shamed you your neighbor? your cause Plead with your neighbor; and the secrets of another not do uncover; lest put you to shame he who hears; and your evil report not returns.
(Like) apples of gold in settings of silver (is) a word spoken at the (right) time. As a ring golden, and an item of gold, (so) a reprover wise on an ear hearing.
Like cold snow in a day of harvest (so) a messenger faithful to his senders; and soul his master’s he makes return. (Like) clouds and wind but (with) no rain (is) a man boasting himself in gift of falsehood.
In length (before) to anger is persuaded a ruler, and a tongue soft shatters the bone.
honey have you found? Eat (only) your fill, lest you be satiated, and vomit it out, make rare your foot from house your neighbor’s, lest he be full of you and hate you.
A maul, and a sword, and a arrow sharp (is) a man who testifies against his neighbor witness false. (like) a tooth bad and a foot slipping (is) trust in a traitor in a day of distress. (As) one removing a garment in a day cold, (and as) vinegar on soda (so) one singing with songs on a heart evil.
If is hungry your enemy, give him to eat bread; and if he is thirsty gave to him water; for coals (of fire) you shall heap upon his head; and Jehovah shall reward you. the wind north brings forth rain; and an indignant face (by) a tongue secret.
(It is) better to dwell on a roof corner than with a women of strifes and a house to share.
(Like) waters cold to a soul weary, a report (is) good from a country far off. (Like) a spring fouled and a fountain ruined (are) the righteous tottering before the wicked.
To eat honey much not (is) good; and to search out their glory (is) glory.
(Like) a city broken down without a wall (is) a man (to) whom there is not control to his spirit.
