• 1. These are more proverbs of Solomon, copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:

• 2. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

• 3. As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

• 4. Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith;

• 5. remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.

• 6. Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim a place among great men;

• 7. it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here," than for him to humiliate you before a nobleman. What you have seen with your eyes

• 8. do not bring hastily to court, for what will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame?

• 9. If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence,

• 10. or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation.

• 11. A word aptly 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 coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.

• 14. Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give.

• 15. Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

• 16. If you find honey, eat just enough--too much of it, and you will vomit.

• 17. Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house--too much of you, and he will hate you.

• 18. Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor.

• 19. Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.

• 20. Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

• 21. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

• 22. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

• 23. As a north wind brings rain, so a sly tongue brings angry looks.

• 24. Better to live on a corner of the roof than 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, nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.

• 28. Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
