Proverbs 25 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Pro 25:1

Pro 25:1These are the [fn]miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Ezekias king of Judea copied out.

Pro 25:2

Pro 25:2The glory of God conceals a matter: but the glory of a king honours business.

Pro 25:3

Pro 25:3Heaven is high, and earth is deep, and a king's heart is unsearchable.

Pro 25:4

Pro 25:4Beat the drossy silver, and it shall be made entirely pure.

Pro 25:5

Pro 25:5Slay the ungodly from before the king, and his throne shall prosper in righteousness.

Pro 25:6

Pro 25:6Be not boastful in the presence of the king, and remain not in the places of princes;

Pro 25:7

Pro 25:7for 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.

Pro 25:8

Pro 25:8Get not suddenly into a quarrel, lest thou repent at last.

Pro 25:9

Pro 25:9Whenever thy friend shall reproach thee, retreat backward, despise him not;

Pro 25:10

Pro 25:10lest thy friend continue to reproach thee, so thy quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be to thee like death.

Pro 25:11

Pro 25:11As a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, so is it to speak a wise word.

Pro 25:12

Pro 25:12In an ear-ring of gold a precious sardius is also set; so is a wise word to an obedient ear.

Pro 25:13

Pro 25:13As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.

Pro 25:14

Pro 25:14As winds and clouds and rains are most evident objects, so is he that boasts of a false gift.

Pro 25:15

Pro 25:15In long-suffering is prosperity to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.

Pro 25:16

Pro 25:16Having found honey, eat only what is enough, lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.

Pro 25:17

Pro 25:17Enter sparingly into thy friend's house, lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.

Pro 25:18

Pro 25:18 As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.

Pro 25:19

Pro 25:19The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.

Pro 25:20

Pro 25:20As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart.

Pro 25:21

Pro 25:21If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;

Pro 25:22

Pro 25:22for so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee with good.

Pro 25:23

Pro 25:23The north wind raises clouds; so an impudent face provokes the tongue.

Pro 25:24

Pro 25:24 It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.

Pro 25:25

Pro 25:25As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.

Pro 25:26

Pro 25:26As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, so is it unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.

Pro 25:27

Pro 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey; but it is right to honour venerable sayings.

Pro 25:28

Pro 25:28As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
