1 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed:— 2 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter. 3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings—[are] unsearchable. 4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth, 5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne. 6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not. 7 For better [that] he hath said to thee, ‘Come thou up hither,’ Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen. 8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush? 9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not, 10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back. |
