旧约-箴言 25
| These are more proverbs of Solomon, copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah: |
| It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. |
| As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. |
| Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith; |
| remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness. |
| Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim a place among great men; |
| 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 |
| do not bring hastily to court, for what will you do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame? |
| If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence, |
| or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation. |
| A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. |
| Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man's rebuke to a listening ear. |
| Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters. |
| Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give. |
| Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. |
| If you find honey, eat just enough--too much of it, and you will vomit. |
| Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house--too much of you, and he will hate you. |
| Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor. |
| Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble. |
| 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. |
| If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. |
| In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you. |
| As a north wind brings rain, so a sly tongue brings angry looks. |
| Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. |
| Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. |
| Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked. |
| It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor. |
| Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control. |
