Proverbs 25

(1) These are the miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Ezekias king of Judea copied out.	(1) Αὗται αἱ παιδεῖαι Σαλωµῶντος αἱ ἀδιάκριτοι, ἃς ἐξεγράψαντο οἱ φίλοι Εζεκιου τοῦ βασιλέως τῆς Ιουδαίας.

(7) for it is better for thee that it should be said, Come up to me, than that one should humble thee in the presence of the prince; speak of that which thine eyes have seen.	(7) κρεῖσσον γάρ σοι τὸ ῥηθῆναι Ἀνάβαινε πρός µε, ἢ ταπεινῶσαί σε ἐν προσώπῳ δυνάστου. ἃ εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλµοί σου, λέγε.

(10) lest thy friend continue to reproach thee, so thy quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be to thee like death. (10a) Favour and friendship set a man free, which do thou keep for thyself, lest thou be made liable to reproach; but take heed to thy ways peaceably.	(10) µή σε ὀνειδίσῃ µὲν ὁ φίλος, ἡ δὲ µάχη σου καὶ ἡ ἔχθρα οὐκ ἀπέσται, ἀλλ’ ἔσται σοι ἴση θανάτῳ.

(11) µῆλον χρυσοῦν ἐν ὁρµίσκῳ σαρδίου, οὕτως εἰπεῖν λόγον.	(ⲓ︦ⲁ︦) ⲛ̅ⲧⳉⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲙ̅ⲡⲏϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉϥⳉⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⳉⲱⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲉ ⲧⲉⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⳉⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲉϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲉⲓⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲉϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ

(12) εἰς ἐνώτιον χρυσοῦν σάρδιον πολυτελὲς δέδεται, λόγος σοφὸς εἰς εὐήκοον οὖς.

(13) As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.	(13) ὥσπερ ἔξοδος χιόνος ἐν ἀµήτῳ κατὰ καῦµα ὠφελεῖ, οὕτως ἄíελος πιστὸς τοὺς ἀποστείλαντας αὐτόν· ψυχὰς γὰρ τῶν αὐτῷ χρωµένων ὠφελεῖ.

(20) As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. (20a) As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
