잠언 25장 BSB
- 1 These are additional proverbs of Solomon, which were copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:
- 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.
- 3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings cannot be searched.
- 4 Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth.
- 5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
- 6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
- 7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here!” than to be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what you have seen with your own eyes,
- 8 do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?
- 9 Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence,
- 10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you, and your infamy never go away.
- 11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
- 12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
- 13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
- 14 Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
- 15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
- 16 If you find honey, eat just what you need, lest you have too much and vomit it up.
- 17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he grow weary and hate you.
- 18 Like a club or sword or sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
- 19 Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.
- 20 Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
- 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
- 22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
- 23 As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
- 24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
- 25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
- 26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
- 27 It is not good to eat too much honey or to search out one’s own glory.
- 28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
