Proverbs: Chapter 25 (asv)

Proverbs 25
- 1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
- 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
- 3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.
- 4 Take away the dross from the silver, And there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:
- 5 Take away the wickedfrombefore the king, And his throne shall be established in righteousness.
- 6 Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, And stand not in the place of great men:
- 7 For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen.
- 8 Go not forth hastily to strive, Lestthou know notwhat to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
- 9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another;
- 10 Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away.
- 11 A word fitly spoken Islikeapples of gold in network of silver.
- 12 Asan ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So isa wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
- 13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, So isa faithful messenger to them that send him; For he refresheth the soul of his masters.
- 14 As clouds and wind without rain, So ishe that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.
- 15 By long forbearing is a ruler 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 Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor’s house, Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.
- 18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
- 19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Islikea broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
- 20 As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
- 21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
- 22 For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.
- 23 The north wind bringeth forth rain; So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
- 24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
- 25 Ascold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
- 26 Asa troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So isa righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
- 27 It is not good to eat much honey; Sofor mento search out their own glory is grievous.
- 28 He whose spirit is without restraint Islikea city that is broken down and without walls.

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
