King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. These[H428] are also[H1571] proverbs[H4912] of Solomon,[H8010] which[H834] the men[H376] of Hezekiah[H2396] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] copied out.[H6275]

2. It is the glory[H3519] of God[H430] to conceal[H5641] a thing:[H1697] but the honor[H3519] of kings[H4428] is to search out[H2713] a matter.[H1697]

3. The heaven[H8064] for height,[H7312] and the earth[H776] for depth,[H6011] and the heart[H3820] of kings[H4428] is unsearchable.[H369] [H2714]

4. Take away[H1898] the dross[H5509] from the silver,[H4480] [H3701] and there shall come forth[H3318] a vessel[H3627] for the refiner.[H6884]

5. Take away[H1898] the wicked[H7563] from before[H6440] the king,[H4428] and his throne[H3678] shall be established[H3559] in righteousness.[H6664]

6. Put not forth thyself[H408] [H1921] in the presence[H6440] of the king,[H4428] and stand[H5975] not[H408] in the place[H4725] of great[H1419] men:

7. For[H3588] better[H2896] it is that it be said[H559] unto thee, Come up[H5927] hither;[H2008] than that thou shouldest be put lower[H4480] [H8213] in the presence[H6440] of the prince[H5081] whom[H834] thine eyes[H5869] have seen.[H7200]

8. Go not forth[H3318] [H408] hastily[H4118] to strive,[H7378] lest[H6435] thou know not what[H4100] to do[H6213] in the end[H319] thereof, when thy neighbor[H7453] hath put thee to shame.[H3637] [H853]

9. Debate[H7378] thy cause[H7379] with[H854] thy neighbor[H7453] himself; and discover[H1540] not[H408] a secret[H5475] to another: [H312]

10. Lest[H6435] he that heareth[H8085] it put thee to shame,[H2616] and thine infamy[H1681] turn not away.[H3808] [H7725]

11. A word[H1697] fitly[H5921] [H655] spoken[H1696] is like apples[H8598] of gold[H2091] in pictures[H4906] of silver.[H3701]

12. As an earring[H5141] of gold,[H2091] and an ornament[H2481] of fine gold,[H3800] so is a wise[H2450] reprover[H3198] upon[H5921] an obedient[H8085] ear.[H241]

13. As the cold[H6793] of snow[H7950] in the time[H3117] of harvest,[H7105] so is a faithful[H539] messenger[H6735] to them that send[H7971] him: for he refresheth[H7725] the soul[H5315] of his masters.[H113]

14. Whoso[H376] boasteth himself[H1984] of a false[H8267] gift[H4991] is like clouds[H5387] and wind[H7307] without[H369] rain.[H1653]

15. By long[H753] forbearing[H639] is a prince[H7101] persuaded,[H6601] and a soft[H7390] tongue[H3956] breaketh[H7665] the bone.[H1634]

16. Hast thou found[H4672] honey?[H1706] eat[H398] so much as is sufficient[H1767] for thee, lest[H6435] thou be filled[H7646] therewith, and vomit[H6958] it.

17. Withdraw[H3365] thy foot[H7272] from thy neighbor's[H7453] house;[H4480] [H1004] lest[H6435] he be weary[H7646] of thee, and so hate[H8130] thee.

18. A man[H376] that beareth[H6030] false[H8267] witness[H5707] against his neighbor[H7453] is a maul,[H4650] and a sword,[H2719] and a sharp[H8150] arrow.[H2671]

19. Confidence[H4009] in an unfaithful man[H898] in time[H3117] of trouble[H6869] is like a broken[H7465] tooth,[H8127] and a foot[H7272] out of joint.[H4154]

20. As he that taketh away[H5710] a garment[H899] in cold[H7135] weather,[H3117] and as vinegar[H2558] upon[H5921] niter,[H5427] so is he that singeth[H7891] songs[H7892] to[H5921] a heavy[H7451] heart.[H3820]

21. If[H518] thine enemy[H8130] be hungry,[H7457] give him bread[H3899] to eat;[H398] and if[H518] he be thirsty,[H6771] give him water[H4325] to drink: [H8248]

22. For[H3588] thou[H859] shalt heap[H2846] coals of fire[H1513] upon[H5921] his head,[H7218] and the LORD[H3068] shall reward[H7999] thee.

23. The north[H6828] wind[H7307] driveth away[H2342] rain:[H1653] so doth an angry[H2194] countenance[H6440] a backbiting[H5643] tongue.[H3956]

24. It is better[H2896] to dwell[H3427] in[H5921] the corner[H6438] of the housetop,[H1406] than with a brawling woman[H4480] [H802] [H4079] and in a wide[H2267] house.[H1004]

25. As cold[H7119] waters[H4325] to[H5921] a thirsty[H5889] soul,[H5315] so is good[H2896] news[H8052] from a far country.[H4480] [H776] [H4801]

26. A righteous[H6662] man falling down[H4131] before[H6440] the wicked[H7563] is as a troubled[H7515] fountain,[H4599] and a corrupt[H7843] spring.[H4726]

27. It is not[H3808] good[H2896] to eat[H398] much[H7235] honey:[H1706] so for men to search[H2714] their own glory[H3519] is not glory.[H3519]

28. He[H376] that[H834] hath no[H369] rule over[H4623] his own spirit[H7307] is like a city[H5892] that is broken down,[H6555] and without[H369] walls.[H2346]
