Proverbs 25:1-10
More Proverbs of Solomon
These are more proverbs of Solomon. They were gathered together by the men of Hezekiah, the king of Judah.
When God hides a matter, he gets glory.
When kings figure out a matter, they get glory.
The heavens are high and the earth is deep.
In the same way, the minds of kings are impossible to figure out.
Remove the scum from the silver.
Then the master worker can make something out of it.
Remove ungodly officials from where the king is.
Then the king can make his throne secure because of the godliness around him.
Don’t brag in front of the king.
Don’t claim a place among his great men.
Let the king say to you, “Come up here.”
That’s better than for him to shame you in front of his nobles.
What you have seen with your own eyes
don’t bring too quickly to court.
What will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?
If you take your neighbor to court,
don’t tell others any secrets you promised to keep.
If you do, someone might hear it and put you to shame.
And the charge against you will stand.
