Hezekiah, king of Judah. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> It is the glory of God to keep a thing secret: but the glory of kings is to have it searched out. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> Take away the waste from silver, and a vessel will come out for the silver-worker. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Take away evil-doers from before the king, and the seat of his power will be made strong in righteousness. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great: <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame? <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another: <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour&#8217;s house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Putting one&#8217;s faith in a false man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a shaking foot. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water: <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> As cold water to a tired soul, so is good news from a far country. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Like a troubled fountain and a dirty spring, is an upright man who has to give way before evil-doers. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n
