Proverbs 25:1-28
Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; remove wicked officials from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.
Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim a place among his great men, it is better for him to say to you,"Come up here," than for him to humiliate(羞辱) you before his nobles.
Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given(裁決正確給予).
Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked(讓步給惡人).
It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
Under King Hezekiah Israel returned to the old neglected patterns of worship. He repaired the Temple and resumed the sacrifices, restoring the Temple music along the lines laid down by David
Why?
King has authority so do not hasty speak to him, for we do not what will be ended.
Ruling rightly given is like apples of god in setting of silver, so don't say too much but say the right word at right time.
Gentle tong can break a bone, I need to say more gentle word with patience.
Do not give way to the wicked, this is a real righteous man.
Do not pride but humble myself is the best way in life.
How?
For a righteous man who do not give way to the wicked.
