Chapter 25.

Dis ones too na di proverbs of Solomon, wey di men of Hezekiah wey be king of Judah copy comot. Na di glory of our Papa to hide one matter, but na di glory of kings to search one matter comot. Just as di heavens high and di earth deep, na so di heart of kings dey wey person no fit search am reach. Comot di dirty from di silver, and vessel go come out for di one wey dey refine am. Comot di wicked person from di king front, and im throne go stand strong for correct-and-holy way. No dey push yousef forward for di king presence, and no stand for di place of di big people; because e beta make dem tell you, “Come up here,” pass make dem put you for lower place for front of one big man wey your eye dey see. No rush enter quarrel, because wetin you go do for di end wen your neighbor put you for shame? Argue your case with your neighbor imsef, but no open anoda person secret, so dat di one wey hear am no go shame you, and your bad name no go ever comot. Word wey person talk for di correct time be like apple of gold wey dem set inside silver. Like ring of gold or fine gold ornament, na so wise correction be for ear wey dey listen. Like di cold of snow for harvest time, na so faithful messenger be to di people wey send am; e dey refresh di soul of im masters. Like clouds and wind wey no bring rain, na so person wey dey boast of gift wey e never give be. Na through patience dem dey convince ruler, and soft tongue dey break bone. If you find honey, chop only wetin reach you, if no be so you go chop too much and vomit. No dey go your neighbor house too much, so dat e no go tire for you come hate you. Like club, sword, and sharp arrow, na so di person wey dey give false witness against im neighbor be. Like bad tooth or foot wey comot for joint, na so to trust person wey no dey faithful for time of trouble be. Like person wey remove cloth for cold day, like vinegar wey dem pour for baking soda, na so di person wey dey sing song give heavy heart be. If your enemy dey hungry, give am bread make e chop, and if thirst dey catch am, give am water make e drink; because you go heap coals of fire for im head, and our Papa go reward you. Di north wind dey bring rain, and tongue wey dey gossip for secret dey bring vex face. E beta make person live for corner of di rooftop pass to share house with wife wey dey quarrel. Like cold water to soul wey don tire, na so good news from far land be. Like spring wey don muddy or fountain wey don spoil, na so di correct-and-holy person be wey give way for di wicked person. E no good to chop too much honey, and e no good to dey find your own glory. Like city wey dem don break enter and leave am without wall, na so di person wey no fit control im own spirit be.
