Proverbs 25:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 These are more proverbs of Solomon. They were copied down by the men of Hezekiah, the king of Judah.
2 When God hides a matter, he gets glory. When kings figure out a matter, they get glory.
3 The heavens are high and the earth is deep. In the same way, the minds of kings are hard to figure out.
4 Remove the scum from the silver. Then the master worker can make something.
5 Remove sinful people from where the king is. When he does what is right, his kingdom will be secure.
6 Don't brag in front of the king. Don't claim a place among great people.
7 Let the king say to you, "Come up here." That's better than for him to shame you in front of nobles. What you have seen with your own eyes
8 don't bring too quickly to court. What will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 If you talk about a matter with your neighbor, don't tell others what was said.
10 If you do, someone might hear it and put you to shame. Then no one will ever respect you again.
11 The right word at the right time is like golden apples in silver jewelry.
12 A wise person's warning to a listening ear is like a gold earring or jewelry made of fine gold.
13 A messenger trusted by those who send him is like cool snow at harvest time. He renews the spirit of his masters.
14 A man who brags about gifts he doesn't give is like wind and clouds that don't produce rain.
15 If you are patient, you can win an official over to your side. And gentle words can break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough. If you eat too much of it, you will throw up.
17 Don't go to your neighbor's home very often. If he sees too much of you, he will hate you.
18 A man who gives false witness against his neighbor is like a club, a sword or a sharp arrow.
19 Trusting someone who is not faithful when trouble comes is like a bad tooth or a disabled foot.
20 You may sing songs to a troubled heart. But that's like taking a coat away on a cold day. It's like pouring vinegar on baking soda.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on his head. And the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings rain. And a crafty tongue brings angry looks.
24 It is better to live on a corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.
25 Hearing good news from a land far away is like drinking cold water when you are tired.
26 Sometimes a godly person gives in to those who are evil. Then he becomes like a muddy spring of water or a polluted well.
27 It isn't good for you to eat too much honey. And you shouldn't try to get others to honor you.
28 A man who can't control himself is like a city whose walls are broken down.
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 :

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 .
