¹ These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out

² It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: But the glory of kings is to search out a matter

³ The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable

⁴ Take away the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the finer:

⁵ Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness

⁶ Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

⁷ For better is it 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

⁸ 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

⁹ Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself, and disclose not the secret of another:

¹⁰ Lest he that heareth it revile thee, and thine infamy turn not away

¹¹ A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver

¹² As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear

¹³ 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

¹⁴ As clouds and wind without rain, so is he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely

¹⁵ By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone

¹⁶ Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee; Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it

¹⁷ Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee

¹⁸ A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow

¹⁹ Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint

²⁰ As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart

²¹ If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

²² For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee

²³ The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the comer of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a wide house

²⁵ As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country

²⁶ As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, so is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked

²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search out their own glory is not glory

²⁸ He whose spirit is without restraint is like a city that is broken down and hath no wall.
