20:025:007 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither;
           than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the
           prince whom thine eyes have seen.

20:025:008 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do
           in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

20:025:009 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not
           a secret to another: 

20:025:010 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy
           turn not away.

20:025:011 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of
           silver.

20:025:012 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a
           wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

20:025:013 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful
           messenger to them that send him:  for he refresheth the soul of
           his masters.

20:025:014 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind
           without rain.

20:025:015 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue
           breaketh the bone.

20:025:016 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee,
           lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

20:025:017 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary
           of thee, and so hate thee.

20:025:018 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a
           maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

20:025:019 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a
           broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

20:025:020 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as
           vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy
           heart.

20:025:021 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be
           thirsty, give him water to drink: 

20:025:022 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the lord
           shall reward thee.

20:025:023 The north wind driveth away rain:  so doth an angry countenance
           a backbiting tongue.

20:025:024 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with
           a brawling woman and in a wide house.

20:025:025 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far
           country.

20:025:026 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a
           troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

20:025:027 It is not good to eat much honey:  so for men to search their
           own glory is not glory.

20:025:028 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that
           is broken down, and without walls.
