WEBVTT 00:00.790 --> 00:06.440 Chapter 25 These are also Proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of 00:06.440 --> 00:07.400 Judah copied out. 00:30.540 --> 00:35.200 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of 00:35.200 --> 00:35.780 great men. 00:36.660 --> 00:40.460 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou 00:40.460 --> 00:44.120 shouldst be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 00:45.220 --> 00:49.280 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end 00:49.280 --> 00:51.300 thereof when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. 00:52.380 --> 00:56.500 Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, and discover not a secret to 00:56.500 --> 01:01.540 another, lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. 01:02.620 --> 01:06.260 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold and pictures of silver. 01:07.360 --> 01:12.080 As an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an 01:12.080 --> 01:12.880 obedient ear. 01:13.840 --> 01:17.760 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to 01:17.760 --> 01:21.200 them that send him, for he refresheth the soul of his masters. 01:22.440 --> 01:27.340 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. 01:27.340 --> 01:33.060 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 01:34.260 --> 01:35.240 Hast thou found honey? 01:36.000 --> 01:40.120 Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, 01:40.260 --> 01:41.020 and vomit it. 01:42.080 --> 01:45.440 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house, lest he be weary of thee, 01:45.740 --> 01:46.780 and so hate thee. 01:47.620 --> 01:51.560 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, 01:51.680 --> 01:52.460 and a sharp arrow. 01:53.820 --> 01:58.660 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot 01:58.660 --> 01:59.300 out of joint. 02:00.260 --> 02:04.220 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon niter, 02:04.720 --> 02:07.120 so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. 02:08.080 --> 02:12.840 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he be thirsty, give him 02:12.840 --> 02:13.640 water to drink. 02:14.360 --> 02:19.320 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. 02:20.220 --> 02:24.740 The north wind driveth away rain, so doth an angry countenance a backbiting 02:24.740 --> 02:25.100 tongue. 02:25.760 --> 02:30.280 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in 02:30.280 --> 02:31.100 a wide house. 02:32.040 --> 02:36.280 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. 02:37.100 --> 02:41.360 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain and a 02:41.360 --> 02:42.040 corrupt spring. 02:42.880 --> 02:47.480 It is not good to eat much honey, so for men to search their own glory is 02:47.480 --> 02:48.180 not glory. 02:49.180 --> 02:54.220 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and 02:54.220 --> 02:54.740 without walls.
