절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	More of Solomon's Wise Sayings Here are some more of Solomon's proverbs. They were copied by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah.	These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2	God is praised for being mysterious; rulers are praised for explaining mysteries.	It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3	Who can fully understand the thoughts of a ruler? They reach beyond the sky and go deep in the earth.	The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4	Silver must be purified before it can be used to make something of value.	Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5	Evil people must be removed before anyone can rule with justice.	Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6	Don't try to seem important in the court of a ruler.	Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7	It's better for the ruler to give you a high position than for you to be embarrassed in front of royal officials. Be sure you are right	For better it is 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	before you sue someone, or you might lose your case and be embarrassed.	Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9	When you and someone else can't get along, don't gossip about it.	Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10	Others will find out, and your reputation will then be ruined.	Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11	The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver.	A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12	Listening to good advice is worth much more than jewelry made of gold.	As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13	A messenger you can trust is just as refreshing as cool water in summer.	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	Broken promises are worse than rain clouds that don't bring rain.	Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15	Patience and gentle talk can convince a ruler and overcome any problem.	By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16	Eating too much honey can make you sick.	Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17	Don't visit friends too often, or they will get tired of it and start hating you.	Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18	Telling lies about friends is like attacking them with clubs and swords and sharp arrows.	A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19	A friend you can't trust in times of trouble is like having a toothache or a sore foot.	Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20	Singing to someone in deep sorrow is like pouring vinegar in an open cut.	As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21	If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat. And if they are thirsty, give them something to drink.	If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22	This will be the same as piling burning coals on their heads. And the Lord will reward you.	For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23	As surely as rain blows in from the north, anger is caused by cruel words.	The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24	It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.	It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25	Good news from far away refreshes like cold water when you are thirsty.	As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26	When a good person gives in to the wicked, it's like dumping garbage in a stream of clear water.	A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27	Don't eat too much honey or always want praise.	It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28	Losing self-control leaves you as helpless as a city without a wall.	He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
