Pro 25:6Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

Pro 25:11

Pro 25:11A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Pro 25:12

Pro 25:12As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Pro 25:17Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

Pro 25:18

Pro 25:18A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Pro 25:19

Pro 25:19Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

Pro 25:21If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

Pro 25:22

Pro 25:22For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

Pro 25:23

Pro 25:23The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

Pro 25:24

Pro 25:24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
