And do not stand H5975 in the same place H4725 [fn]as great H1419 people H1419;

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:7 -

For it is better H2896 that it be said H559 to you, “Come H5927 up H5927 here H2008,”

Than H4480 for you to be placed H8213 lower H8213 in the presence H6440 of the prince H5081,

Whom H834 your eyes H5869 have seen H7200.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:8 -

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:16 -

Have you found H4672 honey H1706? Eat H398 only [fn]what H1767 you need H1767,

So H6435 that H6435 you do not H6435 have H7646 it in excess H7646 and vomit H6958 it.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:17 -

Let your foot H7272 rarely H3365 be H3365 in your neighbor’s H7453 house H1004,

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:22 -

And a [fn]gossiping H5643 tongue H3956 brings an angry H2194 face H6440.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:24 -

It is better H2896 to live H3427 on a corner H6438 of the roof H1406,

Than H4480 [fn]in a house H1004 shared H2267 with a contentious H4066 woman H802.

Like cold H7119 water H4325 to a weary H5889 soul H5315,

So is good H2896 news H8052 from a distant H4801 land H776.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:26 -

Like a trampled H7511 spring H4599 and a [fn]polluted H7843 well H4726,

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:27 -

It is not good H2896 to eat H398 much H7235 honey H1706,

Nor H3808 is it glory H3519 to search H2714 out H2714 [fn]one’s own glory H3519.
