절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	More of Solomon's Proverbs Here are more of Solomon's proverbs, copied by scribes at the court of King Hezekiah of Judah.	These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2	We honor God for what he conceals; we honor kings for what they explain.	It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3	You never know what a king is thinking; his thoughts are beyond us, like the heights of the sky or the depths of the ocean.	The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4	Take the impurities out of silver and the artist can produce a thing of beauty.	Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5	Keep evil advisers away from the king and his government will be known for its justice.	Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6	When you stand before the king, don't try to impress him and pretend to be important.	Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7	It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.	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	Don't be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you wrong, what will you do then?	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	If you and your neighbor have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets.	Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10	Otherwise everyone will learn that you can't keep a secret, and you will never live down the shame.	Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11	An idea well-expressed is like a design of gold, set in silver.	A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12	A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewelry made of the finest gold.	As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13	A reliable messenger is refreshing to the one who sends him, like cold water in the heat of harvest time.	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	People who promise things that they never give are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.	Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15	Patient persuasion can break down the strongest resistance and can even convince rulers.	By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16	Never eat more honey than you need; too much may make you vomit.	Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17	Don't visit your neighbors too often; they may get tired of you and come to hate you.	Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18	A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow.	A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19	Depending on an unreliable person in a crisis is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot.	Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20	Singing to a person who is depressed is like taking off a person's clothes on a cold day or like rubbing salt in a wound.	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, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink.	If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22	You will make them burn with shame, and the Lord will reward you.	For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23	Gossip brings anger just as surely as the north wind brings rain.	The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24	Better to live on the roof than share the house 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	Finally hearing good news from a distant land is like a drink of cold water when you are dry and thirsty.	As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26	A good person who gives in to someone who is evil reminds you of a polluted spring or a poisoned well.	A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27	Too much honey is bad for you, and so is trying to win too much praise.	It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28	If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.	He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
