Proverbs 25
Book: Proverbs
MORE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON
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 neighbor hath put thee to shame.
12 As an ear-ring 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.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
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 soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
