Proverbs 25

Copied by Hezekiah's scribes. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out." Study is a royal joy, which fits searching the original languages. A word at the right moment is "apples of gold." Don't sing cheerful songs to a heavy heart, since forced cheer is like vinegar on a wound. Feed your hungry enemy (Paul quotes verses 21-22 in Romans 12:20). Even honey, too much, makes you sick, so restraint is part of enjoying things.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out." (Proverbs 25:2)

"Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart." (Proverbs 25:20)
