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.
