Word-by-word list

1 These are the miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Hezekiah king of Judea copied out.
2 The glory of God conceals a matter: But the glory of a king honors business.
3 Heaven is high, and earth is deep, And a king’s heart is unsearchable.
4 Beat the drossy silver, And it shall be made entirely pure.
5 Slay the ungodly from before the king, And his throne shall prosper in righteousness.
6 Be not boastful in the presence of the king, And remain not in the places of princes;
7 For it is better for thee that it should be said, Come up to me, Than that one should humble thee in the presence of the prince; Speak of that which thine eyes have seen.
8 Get not suddenly into a quarrel, Lest thou repent at last.
9 Whenever thy friend shall reproach thee, Retreat backward, despise him not;
10 Lest thy friend continue to reproach thee, So thy quarrel and enmity shall not depart, But shall be to thee like death. a man free, Which do thou keep for thyself, lest thou be made liable to reproach; But take heed to thy ways peaceably.
11 As a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, So is it to speak a wise word.
12 So is a wise word to an obedient ear.
13 So a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; For he helps the souls of his employers.
14 objects, So is he that boasts of a false gift.
15 And a soft tongue breaks the bones.
16 only what is enough, Lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.
17 Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.
18 As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, So also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
20 So trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. So the grief of a man hurts the heart.
21 If he thirst, give him drink;
22 And the Lord shall reward thee with good.
23 So an impudent face provokes the tongue.
24 It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, Than with a railing woman in an open house.
25 So is a good message from a land far off.
26 So is it unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.
27 It is not good to eat much honey; But it is right to honor venerable sayings.
28 So is a man who does anything without counsel.
