Proverbs 25:11-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
11
Like
apples of gold in settings of silver,
Is a word spoken at the proper time.
12
Like
an earring of gold and a jewelry piece of fine gold,
Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a listening ear.
13
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14
Like
clouds and wind without rain
Is a person who boasts of his gifts falsely.
15
Through patience a ruler may be persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks bone.
16
Have you found honey? Eat
only
what you need,
So that you do not have it in excess and vomit it.
17
Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become weary of you and hate you.
18
Like
a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow
Is a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor.
19
Like
a bad tooth and an unsteady foot
Is confidence in a treacherous person in time of trouble.
King James Version
Chapter 25
11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13
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.
14
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17
Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 25
11
A word spoken at the right time
is like gold apples in silver settings.
12
A wise correction to a receptive ear
is like a gold ring or an ornament of gold.
13
To those who send him, a trustworthy envoy
is like the coolness of snow on a harvest day;
he refreshes the life of his masters.
14
The one who boasts about a gift that does not exist
is like clouds and wind without rain.
15
A ruler can be persuaded through patience,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16
If you find honey, eat only what you need;
otherwise, you’ll get sick from it and vomit.
17
Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house;
otherwise, he’ll get sick of you and hate you.
18
A person giving false testimony against his neighbor
is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19
Trusting an unreliable person in a difficult time
is like a rotten tooth or a faltering foot.
New Living Translation
Chapter 25
11
Timely advice is lovely,
like golden apples in a silver basket.
12
To one who listens, valid criticism
is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.
13
Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer.
They revive the spirit of their employer.
14
A person who promises a gift but doesn’t give it
is like clouds and wind that bring no rain.
15
Patience can persuade a prince,
and soft speech can break bones.
16
Do you like honey?
Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!
17
Don’t visit your neighbors too often,
or you will wear out your welcome.
18
Telling lies about others
is as harmful as hitting them with an ax,
wounding them with a sword,
or shooting them with a sharp arrow.
19
Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble
is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on a lame foot.
