1 These H428 PMP are also H1571 CONJ proverbs H4912 CMP of Solomon H8010 MMS , which H834 RPRO the men H376 CMP of Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 copied out H6275 VHQ3MP .
2 It is the glory H3519 of God H430 EDP to conceal H5641 a thing H1697 VQPMS : but the honor H3519 of kings H4428 NMP is to search out H2713 a matter H1697 .
3 The heaven H8064 NMP for height H7312 , and the earth H776 for depth H6011 , and the heart H3820 W-CMS of kings H4428 NMP is unsearchable H369 NPAR .
4 Take away H1898 the dross H5509 from the silver H3701 , and there shall come forth H3318 W-VQY3MS a vessel H3627 for the refiner H6884 .
5 Take away H1898 the wicked H7563 AMS from before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 NMS , and his throne H3678 shall be established H3559 in righteousness H6664 .
6 Put not forth thyself H408 NPAR in the presence H6440 L-CMP of the king H4428 NMS , and stand H5975 not H408 ADV in the place H4725 of great H1419 AMP men :
7 For H3588 CONJ better H2896 AMS it is that it be said H559 unto thee , Come up H5927 hither H2008 ADV ; than that thou shouldest be put lower H8213 in the presence H6440 L-CMP of the prince H5081 AMS whom H834 RPRO thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS have seen H7200 VQQ3MP .
8 Go not forth hastily H4118 to strive H7378 , lest H6435 CONJ thou know not what H4100 IPRO to do H6213 VQY2MS in the end H319 thereof , when thy neighbor H7453 hath put thee to shame H3637 .
9 Debate H7378 thy cause H7379 NMS with H854 PREP thy neighbor H7453 himself ; and discover H1540 not H408 NPAR a secret H5475 to another H312 AMS :
10 Lest H6435 he that heareth H8085 it put thee to shame H2616 , and thine infamy H1681 turn not away H3808 NADV .
11 A word H1697 VQPMS fitly H5921 PREP spoken H1696 is like apples H8598 of gold H2091 NMS in pictures H4906 of silver H3701 NMS .
12 As an earring H5141 CMS of gold H2091 NMS , and an ornament H2481 of fine gold H3800 , so is a wise H2450 AMS reprover H3198 VHPMS upon H5921 PREP an obedient H8085 ear H241 NFS .
13 As the cold H6793 of snow H7950 NMS in the time H3117 B-NMS of harvest H7105 NMS , so is a faithful H539 messenger H6735 to them that send H7971 him : for he refresheth H7725 the soul H5315 W-GFS of his masters H113 .
14 Whoso H376 NMS boasteth himself H1984 of a false H8267 gift H4991 is like clouds H5387 and wind H7307 W-GFS without H369 rain H1653 W-CMS .
15 By long H753 forbearing H639 NMD is a prince H7101 persuaded H6601 , and a soft H7390 tongue H3956 breaketh H7665 the bone H1634 .
16 Hast thou found H4672 honey H1706 NMS ? eat H398 so much as is sufficient H1767 for thee , lest H6435 CONJ thou be filled H7646 therewith , and vomit H6958 it .
17 Withdraw H3365 thy foot H7272 CFS-2MS from thy neighbor H7453 \'s house H1004 ; lest H6435 CONJ he be weary H7646 of thee , and so hate H8130 thee .
18 A man H376 NMS 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 B-NMS 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 B-NMS , and as vinegar H2558 upon H5921 PREP niter H5427 , so is he that singeth H7891 songs H7892 to H5921 PREP a heavy H7451 AMS heart H3820 .
21 If H518 PART thine enemy H8130 be hungry H7457 , give him bread H3899 NMS to eat H398 ; and if H518 PART he be thirsty H6771 , give him water H4325 NMP to drink H8248 :
22 For H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt heap H2846 coals of fire H1513 upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMS-3MS , and the LORD H3068 W-EMS shall reward H7999 VPY3MS thee .
23 The north H6828 NFS wind H7307 NFS driveth away H2342 rain H1653 : so doth an angry H2194 countenance H6440 a backbiting H5643 tongue H3956 L-CMS .
24 It is better H2896 AMS to dwell H3427 in H5921 PREP the corner H6438 of the housetop H1406 , than with a brawling woman H802 and in a wide H2267 house H1004 W-NMS .
25 As cold H7119 waters H4325 OMD to H5921 PREP a thirsty H5889 soul H5315 GFS , so is good H2896 NFS news H8052 from a far country H776 M-NFS .
26 A righteous H6662 AMS 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 NADV good H2896 AMS to eat H398 VQFA much H7235 honey H1706 NMS : so for men to search H2714 their own glory H3519 is not glory H3519 .
28 He H376 NMS that H834 RPRO hath no H369 NPAR rule over H4623 his own spirit H7307 is like a city H5892 GFS that is broken down H6555 , and without H369 NPAR walls H2346 .
