Proverbs 25:4
Wisdom Before Kings: Hidden Matters, Fitting Words, Faithful Messengers, Enemies, Restraint, and Self-Control
The chapter moves from the historical introduction and royal wisdom, to humility and restraint before kings, to disputes and fitting speech, to faithful and unfaithful communication, to patience and neighborly limits, to mercy toward enemies, and finally to warnings about slander, quarrels, compromise, excess, and the necessity of self-control.
