forth a vessel for the finer.
-
Take away the wicked [from] before the king, and his throne
shall be established in righteousness.
-
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and
stand not in the place of great [men]:
-
For better [it is] 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.
-
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what
to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to
shame.
-
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour [himself]; and discover
not a secret to another:
-
Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thine
infamy turn not away.
-
A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures
of silver.
-
[As] an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, [so
is] a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

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.

Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds
and wind without rain.

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft
tongue breaketh the bone.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for
thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be
weary of thee, and [so] hate thee.
-
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour
[is] a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
-
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble [is
like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
-
[As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and
as] vinegar upon nitre, so [is] he that singeth songs to an
heavy heart.

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

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

The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry
countenance a backbiting tongue.

[As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from
a far country.

A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as] a
troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

[It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to search
their own glory [is not] glory.
-
He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a
city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.
